# Findings daily alerts with BalkanID for Slack

BalkanID Risk Managers can receive daily [Findings](/iam-risk-analyzer/findings.md) alerts through BalkanID for Slack. Contact `support@balkan.id` to enable alerts.

## Daily Alerts

For each [Finding Rule](/iam-risk-analyzer/findings/setup-finding-rules-using-entity-filters.md) with findings, BalkanID for Slack sends an alert to each Risk Manager daily at 9 AM CT.

Each such alert message includes the name and severity of the Finding, a summary of number of employees, identities and app integrations affected and a link back to the BalkanID web app for further information.

Additionally a list of matched Users and Identities is shown. See the screenshot below for a couple example alerts.

## Configuration

Configure alerts under **Configure → System Notifications** → **Findings**. You can enable alerts for all rules or selected rules. Send individual rule alerts to Slack channels instead of direct messages from BalkanID for Slack.

### Enable/Disable

Findings (Daily alert) notifications can be disabled entirely with the notification group level toggle, and individually for specific Findings.

### Send to Slack Channels

The alerts for each Finding can be be sent to a Slack Channel instead of direct message using the `Send to Channel` option. `Default Channel` can be set as a fallback for Findings without a channel individually specified.

### Severity Level

If you'd rather not receive alerts for lower priority findings, but don't want to manage individually toggling specific Finding alerts on and off, you can set the `Severity Level` option, which is the minimum Finding Severity for which an alert will file. The default `Severity Level` is `High` to avoid noisy alerts, but it can be lowered or raised as needed.

### Rollup

To summarize and reduce notification noise further, multiple Findings can be combined with less details in a single alert, by setting the `Rollup` toggle for those Findings.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.balkan.id/iam-risk-analyzer/findings/findings-daily-alerts-with-balkanid-for-slack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
