Use this interactive demo to learn how to configure Slack notification settings on your Mac.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to manage Slack notifications on Mac by adjusting Preferences and enabling system-level notification settings for full control over alerts. You can customize what notifications you receive, set a pause duration, mute specific channels, and enable mobile forwarding directly from Slack and macOS settings.


Steps

  1. Click the profile icon in Slack to open your account menu.
  2. Select Preferences from the dropdown menu.
  3. Review the notification options to choose what types of alerts you want to receive.
  4. Set a duration for notifications, after which they will automatically pause.
  5. Choose to send notifications to mobile or mute notifications from a specific channel.
  6. Open your Mac system settings, go to Notifications, and search for the Slack app.
  7. Enable Allow Notifications to ensure Slack notifications are delivered on your Mac.

📌 Why this matters

Configuring Slack notifications on Mac ensures you never miss critical messages while avoiding unnecessary interruptions from low-priority channels. Proper notification management — including setting pause durations, muting specific channels, and enabling system-level alerts — directly improves team responsiveness and individual focus. For teams relying on Slack as their primary communication tool, correctly enabling macOS notification permissions is essential for real-time collaboration. This guide helps users take full control of their Slack alert settings across both the app and macOS in just a few steps.
