# Dscout Slack integration

With Dscout's Slack integration, you can easily keep up-to-date on activity in your Dscout account and quickly share media from your projects with your colleagues.

## Enable the Slack integration

[Account Owners, admins, or researchers](/getting-started/dscout-quickstart-guide/user-roles-and-permissions.md) can enable the Slack integration on the Dscout [Account page](/account-management/organization-account-settings/manage-organization-account-settings.md).

To access the Account page, click the name of your Dscout account in the left navigation panel. Then, click the **Settings** icon.

On the Account page, go to the "Settings" tab, then click "Integrations." Tap “Add workspace” to set up your Slack workspace.

In the authorization pop-up, review the integration permissions, then click “Authorize.”

{% hint style="info" %}
If the account manager or owner who originally authorized the Slack integration is removed from your Dscout account or your Slack workspace, the integration will need to be re-enabled by another active account manager or owner.
{% endhint %}

## Receiving account updates

After adding your Slack workspace, you can select a public Slack channel to receive instant updates about activity in your Dscout account. Simply choose the specific events for which you’d like to receive notifications.

## Share media to Slack

In-context examples help teams to build consensus and make informed decisions. If your Dscout account has the Slack integration enabled, you and your team can send media from Dscout projects directly to public channels in your Slack workspace using [public share links](/study-basics/playlist-editor/public-share-links.md).

Specifically, you can share:

* Videos and photos in Recruit applications
* Videos and photos in Diary entries
* Clips in Live sessions

#### To share media to Slack:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Click the “Share” button on the desired media in Dscout.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the public share link settings modal, click “Generate public share link.”
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Add a link title, require an access code, or set a link expiration date if desired.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Expand the “Share it on Slack” option to select a Slack channel and write an optional note.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click “Share to Slack” to post the media, accessed through a public share link, to your desired channel.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
All members, managers, and owners on your Dscout account will be able to share project content to public Slack channels, even if they are not part of your Slack workspace.
{% endhint %}

## Disable the Slack integration

Dscout account managers or owners can disable the Slack integration on the Dscout [Account page](/account-management/organization-account-settings/manage-organization-account-settings.md).

To access the Account page, click "Account" in your profile dropdown, located in the top right corner of your screen. Alternatively, from the [Dscout home page](/getting-started/dscout-quickstart-guide/navigate-the-dscout-platform.md), click the "Account Management" button to the right of the search bar.

On the Account page, go to the “Integrations” tab to remove your Slack workspace. Click “Remove workspace.”

## 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.
