Tutorial: Integrating Metabase Alerts with Slack

This tutorial will guide you through the process of integrating Metabase with Slack to send alerts when a specific query condition is met.

This is particularly useful for tracking key business metrics and ensuring that interested teams are promptly informed when a metric meets or fails to meet a specified condition. For instance, you can set up alerts to notify your sales team whenever monthly sales exceed a certain target, allowing them to celebrate successes and quickly adjust strategies if sales fall short.

Follow these steps carefully to set up and test the integration.
