## Invite Testery App to a Private Slack Channel

In order for Testery to send alerts to a channel, the Testery bot must be invited. There are several ways to do this in Slack, but the easiest is to `@-mention` the Testery app.\
\
For example, you can send something like this to the channel,

<figure><img src="/files/aWyjtorccV3LCwdDfFwN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When you send a message to `@Testery` and the app isn't invited to the channel yet, you'll get a notice to invite the app's bot to the channel.

Click **Invite Them**, and now Testery will be able to send alerts to that channel.
