# Create a Slack Webhook URL

*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher*

Slack webhooks allow the Publisher to send publishing notifications to a specific Slack channel. Notifications can be sent after each product is processed or as a single summary message at the end of a publishing synchronization, depending on the webhook configuration.

To configure a Slack webhook URL:

1. Navigate to <https://api.slack.com/apps> and and sign in to your Slack account.&#x20;
2. Select **Create an App** or **Create New App** if you have already created apps previously. Depending on your Slack configuration, you may need to be a workspace owner or have permission to create apps.
