## Using the Slack Integration

1. Once you've connected Slack, you'll begin to get notifications of jobs that pass your filters.&#x20;

2. Optional: If you see a job that doesn't seem like a great fit, you can manually reject it by clicking "Reject."

{% hint style="info" %}
You have a **minimum of 1 hour to reject** the application before the bot applies. If you do not reject the job, it will be queued to be applied to.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

3. If you reject a job, you'll receive a confirmation message within a few seconds.\ <br>

{% hint style="info" %}
You can use the Slack notifications to refine your filters. Only jobs that have passed your existing filter set will show up in Slack.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
