# Connect Slack and verify your channel

> Authorize the workspace, send a test, and choose the account covered by notifications.

Connect Slack when you want account analysis and notifications in a workspace your team already uses. You need the relevant AutoAdy capability and permission to authorize an app in that Slack workspace. **Add to Slack** is unavailable when the connection has not been enabled for your workspace.

## Connect and check the destination

1. Open **Settings → Slack** and choose **Add to Slack**.
2. In Slack, review the workspace, requested access, and destination before authorizing AutoAdy. Follow your workspace's app-approval policy if required.
3. Return to AutoAdy and check the **Connection** state.
4. Choose **Test**, then look for the actual test message in the intended Slack channel. A success toast is useful, but checking the channel confirms where the message went.
5. Under **Automatic Alerts**, choose the **Briefing account** and the notifications you want: daily briefing, budget alerts, weekly report, and rule triggers.

Use a dated question that names the account for your first analysis. Check the account identity and period in the reply before sharing its numbers with clients.

## Understand channel access

Slack starts with **Read Only**. **Full Access** changes which channel actions can be requested; it does not bypass your workspace permissions. Ad delivery and budget changes are currently unavailable through this channel, including in Full Access. Make those changes through the normal [web delivery review](/meta-ads/delivery) or [budget editor](/meta-ads/budgets).

Notifications and approval requests also have separate outcomes. A notification arriving in Slack does not prove that an ad change was approved or applied. Inspect the actual review and receipt for the change.

## If a connection or message fails

If **Add to Slack** is disabled, ask your owner or [support](/help/contact) about availability rather than retrying authorization. If authorization returns an error, check workspace permissions and the exact displayed message. For a saved connection with no briefing, verify the briefing account, toggles, and delivery health, then send one **Test**.

To stop the integration, choose **Disconnect → Yes, disconnect**. Chat and notifications stop until you reconnect. Disconnecting Slack does not pause campaigns at the ad platform.
