Baz’s integration for Slack solves a key pain point in GitHub’s notification system: separating signal from noise. Developers often miss important updates - or waste time responding to irrelevant ones - because GitHub floods them with emails, alerts, and digests that lack context.

Baz delivers real-time Slack notifications tailored to your role in the code review process:

* **Authors** get notified when their change request is commented on, approved, or ready to merge.
* **Reviewers** are alerted only when their review is requested, or when their comments are resolved.

All alerts are **context-aware**, triggered dynamically by change request activity. That means no more constant inbox checks or GitHub refreshes - just the updates that matter, when they matter.

## **Configuring Baz & Slack**

To install Baz:

1. Go to the [Slack settings page](https://baz.co/settings/integrations/slack), and login if needed.
2. Click "Add to Slack" and complete the setup on Slack side.

## **Using Baz as a Slack bot**

Once installed, Baz:

1. Identifies your role in each change request (author, reviewer, commenter).
2. Tracks relevant actions (e.g. comment, approval, request for review).
3. Sends **Slack notifications** only for events that require your attention.

You can configure whether you want to enable or disable all notifications in slack. You cannot converse with Baz today.
