## What you'll see in Slack

Once connected, WhiteWhale sends alerts directly to your Slack. Each alert includes the signal source, a quote or detail from that source, and a link back to the account in WhiteWhale or your CRM.

You can also receive alerts for account suggestions when new matches are found, and deal revival notifications if you have a CRM connected.

## Step 1: Add the WhiteWhale app to your Slack channel

During onboarding you'll be prompted to add the WhiteWhale app to your Slack workspace. Search for **WhiteWhale** in the Slack App Directory and add it to the channel where you want alerts to appear.

If you missed this during onboarding, you can add the app at any time from the Slack App Directory.

## Step 2: Turn on your notifications

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings">
    Click **Settings** in the left nav and scroll down to **User Notifications**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the notifications you want">
    | Notification             | Delivered via | What it does                                                         |
    | ------------------------ | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Daily Signals**        | Slack         | Alerts for net-new signals found on your accounts. Turn this on.     |
    | **Deal or Revive**       | Slack         | Monitors closed-lost deals for new activity. Requires CRM connected. |
    | **Assigned Accounts**    | Slack + Email | Notifies you when an account is assigned to you.                     |
    | **Recommended Accounts** | Slack         | Notifies you when new Account Suggestions are found.                 |
    | **Pipeline Overview**    | Email only    | Weekly pipeline summary. Not delivered via Slack.                    |
    | **Assignment Overview**  | Email only    | Assignment summary. Not delivered via Slack.                         |

    At minimum, enable **Daily Signals** and **Assigned Accounts** to get full value from the integration.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 3: Set up personal tagging

To get tagged in Slack alerts so you receive notifications, you need to connect your Slack Member ID to your WhiteWhale profile.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find your Slack Member ID">
    In Slack, click your profile picture or name. In the profile panel that opens, click the **three-dot menu** (⋯) and select **Copy Member ID**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add it to WhiteWhale">
    In WhiteWhale Settings, paste your Member ID into the Slack ID field and click **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once saved, WhiteWhale will tag you directly in alerts for your accounts.
