## Enable playbook notifications

You can set up Slack or Microsoft Teams alerts for your playbook runs in Atlan. This can help you monitor your playbooks directly in Slack or Microsoft Teams. You can also choose to receive alerts for failed playbook runs only.

Before you can enable notifications for playbooks, you will need to either:

- [Integrate Slack and Atlan](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-slack/llms.txt)
- [Integrate Microsoft Teams and Atlan](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-microsoft-teams/llms.txt)

To enable notifications for playbook runs:

1. From the left menu of any screen in Atlan, click **Governance**.
2. Under the _Governance_ heading of the _Governance center_, click **Playbooks**.
3. In the upper-right of the playbooks manager, under _Activity_, click the bell icon.
4. In the _Enable notifications_ popup:
 - Click **Setup now** to integrate [Slack](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-slack/llms.txt) or [Microsoft Teams](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-microsoft-teams/llms.txt).
 - If you have already integrated Slack or Microsoft Teams, click **Enable**.
5. In the notifications setup dialog, configure the following:
 1. For _Notifications channel_, you can either:
 - If you have already configured a [Slack](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-slack/llms.txt) or [Microsoft Teams](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-microsoft-teams/llms.txt) channel to receive workflow alerts, that channel will be preselected. You can use the same channel to receive both workflow and playbook run alerts and skip to the next step.
 - If you have not configured a workflow alerts channel or want to add a different one, enter the channel name to receive notifications for playbook runs. This channel will be displayed as the _Playbooks alert channel_ in your [Slack](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-slack/llms.txt) or [Microsoft Teams](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-microsoft-teams/llms.txt) integration.
 2. To select the type of notifications you want to receive, you can either:
 1. Click **Both success and failure alerts** to receive notifications for both successful and failed playbook runs.
 2. Click **Failure alerts only** to limit notifications to failed playbook runs only.
 3. Click **Save** to save your notification preferences.
6. (Optional) To disable notifications, from the notifications setup dialog, remove the playbook alerts channel configured for [Slack](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-slack/llms.txt) or [Microsoft Teams](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-microsoft-teams/llms.txt).

You will now receive [Slack](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-slack/llms.txt) or [Microsoft Teams](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/integrations/integrate-microsoft-teams/llms.txt) notifications for all your playbook runs in Atlan! 🎉
