# Slack Bots

## Overview

| ## Slack Bots |
| --- |
| **Settings Location** | N/A |
| **Prerequisites** | - Slack account and application - Experience using [OAuth](/version-10/docs/establishing-an-oauth-provider) and generating [OAuth](/version-10/docs/creating-oauth-tokens) tokens in Decisions - Knowledge of [Slack's API](https://api.slack.com/apps) for correct scopes - [Project Dependency](https://documentation.decisions.com/version-10/docs/project-dependencies). - [Slack Module Overview](/version-10/docs/slack) |

Once the Slack Module is added to a project you will be able to configure a Slack Bot inside your project. These slack bots can be used to execute flows by tagging the bot inside of slack. Once configured, you can simple "@" the bot inside of a channel and it will execute the flow and respond based on how its configured.
