Connect your Slack workspace to receive notifications and use Confidence from Slack. See Use Confidence in Slack for examples. The workspace connection installs the Confidence app. Then follow Add Confidence to a Slack Channel for each channel where you want to add the agent. For personal notifications, each user can follow Personal Slack Notifications.
