You can connect Bluescape with Slack, which automatically posts any comments made in a workspace to a particular Slack channel. This enables seamless communication between a channel’s team members and collaborators in Bluescape.

## Supported Features

1. **Object-Level Comments**. When you or a collaborator comments on a workspace object (for example, a Canvas, image, etc.), a message sends to the linked Slack channel. The message contains a link to go back to the Bluescape workspace to provide feedback  
  
**Note:** Synchronization from a Slack channel back to the workspace is not supported.

2. **Meeting Start Event**. The message is placed in the linked Slack channel when you or a collaborator starts a workspace meeting. The message contains meeting links, so you can use them to join the meeting.

3. **Document Upload/Creation Event**. When you or a collaborator upload a document to the workspace, a message sends to the linked Slack channel. The message contains a link to go back to Bluescape Workspace and see the document.

## Prerequisites

- Slack integration is enabled in your environment
- You are the owner of the workspace

# Link Your Workspace with a Slack Channel

2. Select the :comments: (comments) icon. Since your Slack integration is enabled and you are the owner of the workspace, the following appears:   
  
Select **Let’s do it**.

After the integration is complete, all Workspace collaborators may use it. Collaborators see the following in the comments panel:

The sub-menu allows you to go to Slack (open the channel in Slack – this is like a link) and the option to Disconnect from Slack (this is available only for the workspace owner)
