# Connect to Slack

To protect the security and privacy of your Slack data, SlapFive's Embedded Integration eliminates the need for you to email or message us with your Slack credentials. Your Slack Admin can simply connect to Slack right from within SlapFive. You only have to do this once and it will be used for all Slack integration and data synchronization scenarios. The login data is then encrypted and stored within the Embedded Integration.

1. Log into Slack using the Admin profile that you want to use to send messages to Slack.
2. In SlapFive, go into **Settings**, and click on the **Integrations** sub-tab.
3. Click the **Slack Connection** box to expand it, then click the green **Connect** button.
4. You will see the permission request screen. Make sure the correct Slack Workspace is selected in the dropdown box in the upper right, then click the green **Allow** button.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.slapfive.com/integrations/slack/connect-to-slack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
