# Slack Integration

Connect your Slack workspace to receive live notifications, pull-request updates, and weekly reports from Optibot directly in your team channels.

## Overview

Once connected, Optibot will automatically post updates in your selected Slack channel — including:

- **Pull Request Reviews** — see approvals, comments, and linked PRs as they happen.
- **Weekly Reports** — get summarized repository insights every Friday at 5 PM PST.

This integration keeps engineering teams aligned on progress without switching between GitHub, GitLab, and Slack.

## How to Connect Slack

### 1. Go to Slack Integration Settings

In your Optibot dashboard, open **Settings → Integrations → Slack Integration**, then click **Integrate with Slack**.

### 2. Authorize in Slack

You’ll be redirected to Slack to approve permissions for Optibot. Click **Allow** to grant access.

Optibot will be able to:

- View basic workspace and channel info
- Post messages in conversations

### 3. Select a Default Channel

After authorization, return to Optibot to choose the Slack channel where notifications should appear. Use the dropdown search to filter and select your preferred channel.

### 4. Confirmation in Slack

Once the integration is complete, you’ll see a welcome message in the selected channel:

> ”👋 Hello! Optibot was installed in this channel. From now on, I’ll be posting information about all my interactions with your code here.”

## What You’ll Receive

### PR Review Notifications

Each time a pull request is reviewed by Optibot, a detailed message is sent to Slack showing:

- Repository name

Every Friday at 5 PM PST, Optibot automatically posts a weekly summary to your Slack channel. This report highlights:
