# Notifications Reference Guide Immuta offers real-time notifications to keep you informed of events from your data consumers and data stewards. These notifications provide timely updates on requests requiring your determination and actions occurring within your data marketplace. The following notification options are available: * In-app * [Slack notifications](#slack-notifications) * [Microsoft Teams notifications](#microsoft-teams-notifications) * [Email notifications](#email-notifications) Notifications provide an automated solution to receive notifications about key actions and events within the Request app. Messages that require action also include links that direct the recipient into Immuta to see more information and address the request. See the list of notifications Immuta will send in the [Notification types reference guide](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/request/notifications/reference-guides/notifications-reference-guide/notifications). ## Example notification This is an example of the notification for an access request sent to data stewards: > User **John Doe** has [requested access](https://app.immutacloud.com/marketplace/) to data product **Your Data Product**, for which you are a Steward. Please make a determination on that request. ## Slack notifications {% hint style="info" %} **Public preview**: The Slack notifications feature is available to all accounts.

The Slack notifications will then be sent to the Slack user with the email that matches the Immuta user's profile page, which is automatically populated by the [configured IAM](https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/configuration/application-configuration/how-to-guides/config-builder-guide#use-existing-identity-access-manager). ### What permissions does the Immuta Slack app require in my workspace?
