# End User Notifications ## Overview Abbey supports notifications via email and Slack. ## Email Notifications Email notifications are on by default; there's no setup required. Abbey will notify the user via the email associated with their Abbey account. Abbey notifies users via email from **** on the following events: | Event | User Notified | | ------------------------------ | ------------- | | User Requests Access | Requester | | Request was Approved | Requester | | Request was Denied | Requester | | Grant Expired | Requester | | Approval is Required | Approver | | Approval is No Longer Required | Approver | ## Slack Notifications Abbey supports DM-based notifications via Slack. We'll notify reviewers when an access request requires their approval. ### Setup Navigate to Settings -> [Notifications](https://app.abbey.io/settings/notifications)
Click on **+ New Notification** to set up the Slack integration. This will take you to another screen with a **Add to Slack option**. After clicking "Add to Slack", you'll be directed to an app install page by Slack. Pick a channel - any channel is fine, we only sends DMs to users for notifications.
After this, you should see your Connection configured under the [Notifications](https://app.abbey.io/settings/notifications) tab. :tada: --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
