Connecting Vanta & Slack

If you don't see a channel in the available list, it may be a private channel. See below for how to set this up.

Private channels in Slack will need the Vanta app added to the channel before it can be configured in Vanta
- Go to the private Slack channel that you would like to use for Vanta notifications
- Type "@vanta" and select the Vanta App:

On the Company notifications page, you can add this newly configured private channel and configure preferences on behalf of your entire company.
