# Slack

> Integrate Plerion with Slack to send alerts to a channel via Incoming Webhooks, keeping your team informed in real time.

With the [Slack integration](https://app.plerion.com/settings/integrations/add/Slack/Slack), you can route Plerion notifications to the right channels and keep incident context in Slack.

<Warning>
  **Note:** This is a one-way outbound integration. Messages sent from Plerion appear
  in Slack, but changes in Slack do not sync back to Plerion.
</Warning>
