# Subscribing to Slack notifications

Once your Slack workspace admin [has connected the workspace to SonarQube Cloud](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/integrations/setup), you can subscribe to Slack notifications for your project. To do so, you subscribe to your project in the Slack channel of your choice.

### Connect your Slack and SonarQube Cloud accounts

You only need to perform this step once.

Proceed as follows:

1. In your Slack workspace, navigate to any channel.
2. In the channel, type `/sonarqube connect`. You will be prompted to connect your account.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Prepare the channel to be used for subscription

You must select the Slack channel to be used to receive your project’s notifications. You can create a new one. Note that:

* All channel members will receive the SonarQube Cloud notifications.
* You can use the same channel to receive the notifications on different projects distributed across various organizations.
* You may need specific permissions to add the app to private channels.

If your Slack channel is private, you need to add the SonarQube App for Slack to your channel:

1. In your Slack workspace, navigate to your private channel.
2. In the private channel, type `/invite @SonarQube`.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Subscribe your channel to your project

Make sure that you have the Browse permission on the project in SonarQube Cloud.
