# Slack

The Slack action will send a notification to the specified Slack channel. The Slack message text can be enriched with data from the current sample from the data source, which was used in the condition that triggered the action. 

The [templating syntax](https://docs.akenza.io/akenza.io/get-started/reference/message-templating) can be used to include properties of the data sample.
