# Notify Step

The **Notify** step sends an internal notification to a Slack channel or Microsoft Teams channel. Use it to alert your sales team when a lead takes a specific action — for example, when an assigned lead schedules a meeting, a high-value lead completes a form, or a lead replies to a workflow email.

## Configuration

### Platform

Choose **Slack** or **Microsoft Teams**. Your organization must have the corresponding integration enabled under [**Settings > Integrations**](https://app.spara.co/organization/integrations).

### Channel

Select the channel or team to post the notification to. The available channels are loaded from your connected workspace.

### Message

Write the notification message. Supports variables — use the **Insert menu** (⚡) to insert lead data.

Use the **Preview** button to see how the message renders with sample data.

## Global notification settings

The Notify step is best for targeted, conditional alerts — notifications that should only fire when leads match specific workflow criteria. For organization-wide alerts that fire every time a lead event occurs (such as deanonymization, enrichment, or emails sent), use the global [Notifications](/platform/settings/notifications.md) settings instead.
