# Connect Slack

Connect Slack so your team gets meeting recaps and check-in reminders as Slack DMs, and can check in from Slack.

Connect Slack so Brev reaches your team where they already talk. One connection covers the whole organization.

## What you get from Slack {#what-you-get}

- Meeting recaps and check-in reminders as Slack DMs.
- Check-ins completed inside Slack.
- Answers from the Brev bot in a DM or a channel thread.

Who can do this: an Owner or Admin (by default) connects Slack once (see [Roles & permissions](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/)). Members don't connect it themselves.

## Connect Slack {#connect}

1. In Settings, click **Connections**, then type Slack App in **Search connections**.
2. On its row, click **Connect**.
3. In Slack, pick the workspace and approve access.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> The Slack App row shows a **Connected** badge.

Each member then picks Slack for recaps and mentions in [Settings → Notifications](https://help.brev.io/settings-notifications/).

## Check in from Slack {#check-in}

Once Slack is connected, members can check in from the reminder DM with **Check in**. For the steps, see [Check in from Slack](https://help.brev.io/check-in-from-slack/).

## After you connect Slack {#what-happens-next}

- Reminders follow your organization's check-in schedule. To set it, see [Set up check-in reminders](https://help.brev.io/check-in-reminders/).
- For recaps, digests, channels and the bot, see [Chat & notifications](https://help.brev.io/integrations-chat/#what-shows-up).
