# Slack

Slack formatter returns message blocks formatted specifically for Slack. Slack uses its own custom variation of Markdown: [mrkdwn](https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting#basics).

### Example

```python
snowkill_formatter = SlackFormatter(getenv("SNOWSIGHT_BASE_URL"))

for r in check_results:
    response = send_slack_message(
        slack_token=getenv("SLACK_TOKEN"),
        slack_channel=getenv("SLACK_CHANNEL"),
        message_blocks=snowkill_formatter.format(r),
    )
```

### Usage notes

* Read more about [Slack integration](/deployment/slack-integration.md) on a dedicated documentation page.
* Slack should start with `#`, for example: `#snowflake-monitor`
