# Send Postman Monitor results to Slack

[Postman Monitors](/docs/monitoring-your-api/intro-monitors/) enable you to continuously check the health and performance of your APIs. You can integrate Postman with Slack to automatically send monitor results to a channel in Slack. Each time the monitor runs, you'll get a notification in Slack with the results. It's recommended that you set up Slack notifications when you configure a monitor. Alternatively, you can set up Slack notifications when you set up a Postman Monitor integration.

## Configure monitors to send results to Slack

You can connect a Slack channel when you create a new monitor or when you edit an existing monitor.

To send Postman Monitor results to Slack from **Monitors**, do the following:

1. Click **Monitors** in the sidebar, then click <img alt="Add icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-add-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **Create new monitor**.
2. When you [configure](/docs/monitoring-your-api/setting-up-monitor/#configure-a-monitor) your new monitor, under **Notifications**, select the **Notify a team channel** checkbox.
3. Click **Connect Slack channel**.
4. A browser tab opens asking you to sign in to Slack. Click **Continue**, then enter your workspace URL and sign in with your email or SSO.
5. Click **Allow** to give Postman permission to view content and perform actions in Slack. Close the tab to continue in Postman.
6. From the Postman **Monitors** page, under **Notifications**, select a Slack workspace and a Slack channel in which to receive notifications.
7. Choose whether to receive notifications for every completed run or after three consecutive failures and a successful run after the failures.
8. You'll receive a confirmation message in the selected Slack channel once the connection is established.

After connecting the Slack channel, Postman sends monitor results based on the selected settings.
