How does it work?

Organization level events, such as, when a new connector is created or a Sync Bridge completes will create general notifications. These are not necesarily alerts but perhaps informative communications and can be seen by clicking on the Alerts link from the left panel

Slack Nofications are shared on an existing Slack channel belonging to your company. Thus, the integration requires at least one person to set up the Slack notification integration at your company level for your DLH.io organization.
