Before you begin

Please review the following details before completing the steps outlined in this article.

• ChartMogul sends updates to public and private Slack channels.
• ChartMogul sends either real-time MRR updates or daily/weekly/monthly summaries of your MRR movements to Slack.
• With real-time updates, ChartMogul sends each MRR movement to Slack, including any custom attributes you've configured, as they occur.
  
• Daily, weekly, and monthly summaries show the net impact of all MRR movements within the period as well as the largest MRR gains and losses.
  
• ChartMogul doesn’t send updates for MRR movements below 0.5% of the total MRR or five cents (pence, centavos, etc.).

Adding Slack as a destination

2. Click Add Destination and select Slack.
