# Slack integration

Slack is a communication platform that enables streamlining conversations, organizing channels, and integrating with other applications. Admins can also receive push notifications about access requests and their statuses in an available audit channel.

Through this integration, Apono enables your staff to request, view, and approve access to your resources via Slack.
