# Subscribing to Slack notifications

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

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information about the Slack integration in SonarQube Cloud, check out this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW-pp4LN9r0) on how to benefit from the Slack integration, or see [Slack](/sonarqube-cloud/discovering-sonarcloud/integrations/integration-overview.md).

**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.

{% hint style="warning" %}
All channel members will receive the SonarQube Cloud notifications on your project.
{% endhint %}

To subscribe your channel to your project:

1. In SonarQube Cloud, copy your project key. See [Retrieving projects](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-projects/retrieving-projects.md#viewing-project-information).
2. In your Slack workspace, navigate to the channel in which you want to enable the subscription.
3. In the channel, type `/sonarqube subscribe <project_key>` .
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

## Unsubscribing a channel from a project

To unsubscribe a channel from a project, you need the Browse permission on the project in SonarQube Cloud.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Unsubscribing a channel from a project disables the subscription for all members of the channel.
{% endhint %}

To unsubscribe a channel from a project:

1. In SonarQube Cloud, copy the project key. See [Retrieving projects](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-projects/retrieving-projects.md#viewing-project-information).
2. In your Slack workspace, navigate to the channel subscribed to your project.
