# Slack Integration

> Slack is a business communication platform widely used by organisations to communicate with each other. It has multiple channels organised based on teams or topics. The participants can send messages, images, internet links, or videos in the channels.

<Warning>
  **Watch Out!**

  * Only Owners can install this OAuth App and perform integration.
  * If other [standard user roles](/payments/dashboard/account-settings/manage-team#standard-user-roles) need to get notifications, they can be added to the Slack channel(s).

  You can integrate Razorpay with Slack to get real-time updates regarding payment downtimes.
