Configure your Slack notifications

Once you've connected your Slack workspace, you can set up notifications for your entire Rewatch channel or for specific collections. You can also customize your notification preferences for new videos, comments, and highlights.

Navigate to the Admin console at the bottom of the lefthand navigation.
Click on Permission settings in the lefthand menu bar.
