To **connect Slack to your operation**, the goal is not to move work into chat. It is to send the events that need attention there, so people acting on them do not have to check a second tool.

## What to send, and what not to

A channel filled with every update is a channel nobody reads.

- **Send** — approvals waiting, escalations, records past target
- **Send** — a daily or weekly summary of what needs attention
- **Do not send** — every record creation or field change
- **Do not send** — anything nobody would act on

## What the connection covers

| Direction    | What it does                                    |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Outbound** | Process events posted into a channel            |
| **Targeted** | Messages to the channel a process belongs to    |
| **Native**   | Configured rather than built through middleware |

## How to set it up in Jestor

1. Find the **Slack** automations in the native library in **Jestor**.
2. Choose the trigger — a phase change, a threshold, or a date.
3. Select the channel the message should reach.
4. Pull values from the record so the message carries context rather than a generic alert.
5. Check the execution log after the first run to confirm it fired.

## Why choose Jestor for chat integration?

**Jestor** includes Slack among its native integrations, which means the connection costs nothing beyond configuration — no middleware subscription sitting between the two systems.

Because the message pulls values from the record, a Slack alert can carry the value, the requester, and the cost centre, which is usually enough to decide without opening anything.
