# Slack notifications integration **(FREE)**
The Slack notifications integration enables your GitLab project to send events
(such as issue creation) to your existing Slack team as notifications. Setting up
Slack notifications requires configuration changes for both Slack and GitLab.
You can also use [Slack slash commands](slack_slash_commands.md)
to control GitLab from Slack. Slash commands are configured separately.
## Configure Slack
1. Sign in to your Slack team and [start a new Incoming WebHooks configuration](https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook).
1. Identify the Slack channel where notifications should be sent to by default.
Select **Add Incoming WebHooks integration** to add the configuration.
1. Copy the **Webhook URL** to use later when you configure GitLab.
## Configure GitLab
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Integrations**.
1. Select **Slack notifications**.
1. In the **Enable integration** section, select the **Active** checkbox.
1. In the **Trigger** section, select the checkboxes for each type of GitLab
event to send to Slack as a notification. For a full list, see
[Triggers for Slack notifications](#triggers-for-slack-notifications).
By default, messages are sent to the channel you configured during
[Slack configuration](#configure-slack).
1. Optional. To send messages to a different channel, multiple channels, or as
a direct message:
- *To send messages to channels,* enter the Slack channel names, separated by
commas.
- *To send direct messages,* use the Member ID found in the user's Slack profile.
NOTE:
Usernames and private channels are not supported.
1. In **Webhook**, enter the webhook URL you copied in the
[Slack configuration](#configure-slack) step.
1. Optional. In **Username**, enter the username of the Slack bot that sends
the notifications.
1. Select the **Notify only broken pipelines** checkbox to notify only on failures.
1. In the **Branches for which notifications are to be sent** dropdown list, select which types of branches
to send notifications for.
1. Leave the **Labels to be notified** field blank to get all notifications, or
add labels that the issue or merge request must have to trigger a
notification.
1. Select **Test settings** to verify your information, and then select
**Save changes**.
Your Slack team now starts receiving GitLab event notifications as configured.
## Triggers for Slack notifications
The following triggers are available for Slack notifications:
| Trigger name | Trigger event |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
| **Push** | A push to the repository. |
| **Issue** | An issue is created, updated, or closed. |
| **Confidential issue** | A confidential issue is created, updated, or closed. |
| **Merge request** | A merge request is created, updated, or merged. |
| **Note** | A comment is added. |
| **Confidential note** | A confidential note is added. |
| **Tag push** | A new tag is pushed to the repository. |
| **Pipeline** | A pipeline status changed. |
| **Wiki page** | A wiki page is created or updated. |
| **Deployment** | A deployment starts or finishes. |
| **Alert** | A new, unique alert is recorded. |
| [**Vulnerability**](../../application_security/vulnerabilities/index.md) | A new, unique vulnerability is recorded. |
## Troubleshooting
If your Slack integration is not working, start troubleshooting by
searching through the [Sidekiq logs](../../../administration/logs/index.md#sidekiqlog)
for errors relating to your Slack service.
### Something went wrong on our end
You might get this generic error message in the GitLab UI.
Review [the logs](../../../administration/logs/index.md#productionlog) to find
the error message and keep troubleshooting from there.
### `certificate verify failed`
You might see an entry like the following in your Sidekiq log:
```plaintext
2019-01-10_13:22:08.42572 2019-01-10T13:22:08.425Z 6877 TID-abcdefg Integrations::ExecuteWorker JID-3bade5fb3dd47a85db6d78c5 ERROR: {:class=>"Integrations::ExecuteWorker :integration_class=>"SlackService", :message=>"SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed"}
```
This issue occurs when there is a problem with GitLab communicating with Slack,
or GitLab communicating with itself.
The former is less likely, as Slack security certificates should always be trusted.
To view which of these problems is the cause of the issue:
1. Start a Rails console:
```shell
sudo gitlab-rails console -e production
# for source installs:
bundle exec rails console -e production
```
1. Run the following commands:
```ruby
# replace <SLACK URL> with your actual Slack URL
result = Net::HTTP.get(URI('https://<SLACK URL>'));0
# replace <GITLAB URL> with your actual GitLab URL
result = Net::HTTP.get(URI('https://<GITLAB URL>'));0
```
If GitLab does not trust HTTPS connections to itself,
[add your certificate to the GitLab trusted certificates](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/ssl.html#install-custom-public-certificates).
If GitLab does not trust connections to Slack,
the GitLab OpenSSL trust store is incorrect. Typical causes are:
- Overriding the trust store with `gitlab_rails['env'] = {"SSL_CERT_FILE" => "/path/to/file.pem"}`.
- Accidentally modifying the default CA bundle `/opt/gitlab/embedded/ssl/certs/cacert.pem`.
### Bulk update to disable the Slack Notification integration
To disable notifications for all projects that have Slack integration enabled,
[start a rails console session](../../../administration/operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session) and use a script similar to the following:
WARNING:
Commands that change data can cause damage if not run correctly or under the right conditions. Always run commands in a test environment first and have a backup instance ready to restore.
```ruby
# Grab all projects that have the Slack notifications enabled
p = Project.find_by_sql("SELECT p.id FROM projects p LEFT JOIN integrations s ON p.id = s.project_id WHERE s.type_new = 'Slack' AND s.active = true")
# Disable the integration on each of the projects that were found.
p.each do |project|
project.slack_integration.update!(:active, false)
end
```
