## Introduction

Feature flags give teams precise control over feature releases. The WorkOS app for Slack sends real-time notifications throughout your feature flags' lifecycle, from creation and enabling to deletion. This keeps all stakeholders informed about critical changes, such as when a feature flag is enabled for specific customers or organizations.

## Configure your Slack connection

To set up Slack notifications, navigate to [_Feature Flags_](https://dashboard.workos.com/environment/flags) and click _Enable Slack notifications_.
