The Orshot Slack integration delivers notifications directly to your Slack workspace. Get notified about completed renders, usage alerts, and errors — all without leaving Slack.

## Connecting Slack

1. Navigate to **Workspace > Settings > Connections** in your Orshot dashboard
2. Click **Connect** next to Slack
3. Select the Slack workspace and channel where you want notifications
4. Authorize Orshot to post messages

## Notification Options

Once connected, you can customize which notifications you receive:

### Send Renders to Slack

When enabled, every rendered image, PDF, or video is posted directly to your Slack channel. The file is uploaded with a link to view logs.

### Overage Alerts

Get notified when:

- **Overage starts** — You've exceeded your plan's render quota and are using overage renders
- **Overage limit reached** — You've hit your overage limit and renders are blocked

This is enabled by default.

### Error Alerts

Receive notifications when a render fails. The message includes:

- Template name
- Error status code
- Error message
- Link to view logs

This is enabled by default.

### Usage Threshold Alerts

Set percentage thresholds (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%) to get notified when your monthly usage crosses those levels. Useful for monitoring usage before hitting limits.

## Managing the Connection

### Enable/Disable Notifications

Use the **Enabled** toggle to pause all Slack notifications without disconnecting. Your settings are preserved.

### Send Test Notification

Click **Send Test** to verify your Slack connection is working correctly.

### Disconnect

Click **Disconnect** to remove the Slack integration. This revokes Orshot's access to your Slack workspace.
