# Post Detail bug reports to Slack

> Connect Detail to Slack to receive bug reports in Slack.

The Detail Slack integration posts bugs directly to Slack, so your team stays informed without needing to check a dashboard. You can also publish individual bug findings to any channel manually, from the bug view.

## Connecting Slack

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the integration settings">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations → Slack** in the Detail dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Detail">
    Click **Connect** and authorize Detail for your Slack workspace. You'll be redirected to Slack to complete the OAuth flow and grant the necessary permissions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your default channel">
    Select the default channel where Detail should post bug notifications and scan summaries. You can change this at any time from the integration settings.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What gets posted automatically

If you configure automatic publishing to Slack, Detail will post the following to your channel of choice:

* **New bugs** — includes the bug title, affected file, severity, and a direct link to the full report in the Detail dashboard
* **Scan completion summaries** — a brief message after each scan run showing how many new bugs were found across your repositories

## Publishing a bug to Slack manually

To share a specific bug with your team, open the bug detail view and click **Send To → Slack**. Select the channel from the dropdown and click **Post**. The message includes the bug title, summary, severity, file location, and a deeplink back to Detail.

This is useful for escalating high-severity findings, flagging security vulnerabilities to a dedicated security channel, or sharing context with a specific team.
