6. Once in the conversation, go ahead and type "Help". This will pull up a list of commands available directly in Slack.
7. Next, go ahead and navigate back to FloQast. You'll notice the popup that started this whole process is now available to Close.
Once closed, you will see the status of the Integration for Slack is now connected!
8. To finalize your setup, you will want to select which notifications you receive in Slack. You can either click the Manage Notifications button from the direct message in Slack, or, navigate directly to FloQast and open your User Settings by clicking on your Avatar/Initials in the upper right-hand corner and selecting Notifications.
You will have equivalent notification options for both Email and Slack. You may mix and match these settings to receive alerts via one or the other, both, or neither.
