Attention

This document covers **TestOps Legacy** version only.

The Defects Report Slack notification integration automatically notifies users in a specific Slack channel whenever a project member performs a corresponding action using the Defects Report function from TestOps. This allows for better work visibility among project members and for quickly checking issues without having to navigate to them manually.

## Set up Slack notifications for defects[​](#set-up-slack-notifications-for-defects "Direct link to set-up-slack-notifications-for-defects")
