To set up the Post to Slack feature, complete these steps.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Slack, and then select **Slack Apps Setup**.
2. At step 2, click **Accept to agree to the Terms and Conditions**.
3. In the left navigation panel, select **CRM Analytics for Slack** and click **Agree and enable Slack integration**. For more information, see [Enable Salesforce for Slack Integrations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_enable.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

After setting up the feature, the Post to Slack icon appears on Lightning dashboards.

Note Post to Slack is only available in channels that are not shared across multiple workspaces.

The post appears in the channels that you selected. Click the dashboard name to go to the dashboard in Salesforce.

Or click **View Details** to see more and access the Share, Subscribe, and View Snapshot actions.

View Snapshot runs the dashboard in the background and creates a screenshot .png file. If you share your snapshot, keep in mind that others can see and share your personal view of your data.
