When there is a new alert or incident, it is important for a responder to be notified
immediately so they can triage and respond to the problem. Responders can receive
notifications using the methods described on this page.

## Slack notifications
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216326) in GitLab 13.1.

Responders can be paged via Slack using the
[Slack Notifications Service ](../../user/project/integrations/slack.md ), which you
can configure for new alerts and new incidents. After configuring, responders
receive a **single** page via Slack. To set up Slack notifications on your mobile
device, make sure to enable notifications for the Slack app on your phone so
you never miss a page.
