# How to Connect Slack to SpendNexus

> Step-by-step guide to connecting SpendNexus with Slack for automated subscription renewal alerts and budget notifications.

# Slack Integration Guide

Connecting SpendNexus to Slack allows your team to receive automated alerts for subscription renewals, budget thresholds, and cost changes directly in your preferred channels.

## Prerequisites

* A SpendNexus account with a **Growth** or **Scale** plan.
* Admin permissions in your Slack workspace (to authorize the integration).

## Connecting Slack

1. **Navigate to Settings**: Click on the gear icon in the sidebar and select **Alerts**.
2. **Launch OAuth Flow**: Click the **Connect Slack** button.
3. **Authorize SpendNexus**: You will be redirected to Slack. Select the workspace you want to connect and click **Allow**.
4. **Verification**: Once redirected back to SpendNexus, you should see a "Slack Connected" status. We will automatically send a test message to your workspace to verify the connection.

## Configuring Channels

Once connected, you can choose which Slack channels receive alerts.

* **Default Channel**: You can set a global default channel for all alerts.
* **Rule-Specific Channels**: When creating an [Alert Rule](/user-guide/alerts), you can override the default and send specific notifications (e.g., Infrastructure renewals) to specific channels (e.g., `#dev-ops`).

## Troubleshooting

### Webhook Errors

If you are using a manual Webhook setup instead of the OAuth flow:

* Ensure the Webhook URL is copied exactly from your Slack App settings.
* Check that the Slack App has permission to post to the selected channel.

### Missing Alerts

* Verify that the **Slack Channel** is enabled in your **Settings > Alerts**.
* Ensure the specific **Alert Rule** you created has the Slack channel selected as a delivery method.
