# Slack

> Send Jams to any Slack channel with rich previews and inline debug timelines. Engineers start debugging without leaving the chat.

Connect Jam to Slack to send bug reports directly to any channel, DM, or private group. Every message includes the full debug context, and Jam links shared in Slack automatically expand into rich previews showing error timelines, so engineers can start debugging without opening a new tab.

<Info>You need the Jam Chrome extension installed. See [Getting Started](/introduction) if you haven't set it up.</Info>

## What's included in every Slack message

Every Slack message sent from Jam automatically includes:

* Screen capture (screenshot, video, or instant session replay)
* Console logs
* Fully inspectable network requests
* URL, timestamp, and country
* Device, OS, and browser
* Viewport size
* Network speed

## Enable inline Jam previews in Slack

Once you connect your Jam account to Slack, any Jam link you paste into Slack will automatically expand into a rich preview. Engineers see debug context directly in Slack (including error timelines on videos and replays) without opening a separate tab.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Jam dashboard">
    Go to [jam.dev](https://jam.dev).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Settings → Integrations">
    Go to [**Settings → Integrations**](https://jam.dev/s/settings/integrations).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Slack">
    Click **Slack** and complete the OAuth flow to connect your account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

After connecting, every Jam link you share in Slack will show an expanded preview formatted for engineers.
