# Send Briefwell monitoring alerts to Slack

Connect Slack to Briefwell with one OAuth install, then pick the channel that gets a message and a link whenever something you watch changes.

Briefwell is a proactive monitoring tool that watches web pages, data feeds, and topics on a schedule and posts to Slack when something material changes. Connect Slack with one OAuth install and pick a channel; Briefwell sends a notification with a short summary and a link back to the full brief, which opens in the Briefwell app rather than rendering inside Slack.

## At a glance

- **What it does:** Posts a notification to a Slack channel when a monitored source changes or a scheduled brief is ready.
- **Trigger:** A per-change Update as it's raised, or a Report on its configured cadence.
- **What lands in Slack:** A short message with a link back to Briefwell; the full brief opens in the app, not inside Slack.
- **Setup:** One OAuth install; you pick the channel in Slack's own interface, with no webhook URL to paste or rotate.
- **Direction:** One-way, from Briefwell to Slack.
- **Best for:** Teams that want to be pinged in a channel and click through for the detail.

## What the Slack integration does

Slack is a notify destination. When Briefwell's AI raises an Update on a source, bundle, or collection, it posts a message to the channel you chose, with a summary of what changed and a link back to the full record in Briefwell. Scheduled Reports notify Slack the same way once they're composed.

## How to connect it

Connecting Slack is a single OAuth install from your Briefwell workspace. Once connected, you pick the destination channel directly in Slack's own interface — there's no webhook URL to copy, paste, or rotate. Any source, bundle, or collection can be pointed at that channel independently.

## What lands in Slack vs the app

The Slack message is a notification with a link. The full brief — its composed narrative and inline citations — opens in Briefwell, not inside Slack. Every notification traces back to the source evidence Briefwell captured: the snapshot and the record of what changed, previous value to new value.

## How it works

1. Point Briefwell at the web pages, feeds, APIs, or research topics you want to watch.
2. It checks them on a schedule, compares each result with the previous version, and keeps a record of what changed.
3. When a change matters, Briefwell creates an update — judged and explained, with the evidence attached — and delivers it to Slack, email, your CRM, or a signed webhook.
