# See impact.com Messages from Partners in Slack
impact.com [Messaging](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/reach-out-to-partners/messaging/send-a-message-to-a-partner) allows you to exchange messages with partners who've joined your programs, and you can also opt to receive partner messages and notifications on Slack. Read on for information on how to configure a channel in your Slack workspace using Slack's [Incoming Webhooks](https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks), so that you can view impact.com messages on your Slack app.
#### How it works
* You'll create a new app in your Slack workspace and generate a Webhook URL for the channel in which you want notifications to appear.
* In your impact.com account, you'll add the webhook URL for that channel to enable the integration.
* Once connected, Slack will notify you via the channel whenever you receive a message in impact.com.
