### Add Slack bots to channels

6. To fetch data from Slack, you need to add the crowd.dev Slack bot to all channels.

There are two options for this:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Adding the Bot directly from the channel" %}
This is the quickest option if you do not have many channels. Go to the channel, type: [@LFX CM](https://linuxfoundation.slack.com/team/U05PNCVNYKZ), and send the message.

<figure><img src="https://3411187760-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M2DCN9UgoRgMEkgnLyP-887967055%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-89991a09cd1d9127d8a7d606b4825bc002b94195%2Fimage.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

A pop-up will appear, click \*Add to Channel\* and the bot will be able to get all messages from this channel.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Adding from the channel settings" %}
**Option 2: Adding from the channel settings**

Alternatively, you can add the bot in bulk from the channel settings.

1. On the sidebar, right-click on the first channel where you would like the integration to be and click on *Open channel details.*
2. Head over to the *Integrations* tab and click on *Add an App*

3. Search for "[LFX CM](https://linuxfoundation.slack.com/team/U05PNCVNYKZ) app, and click on *Add*

   ![](https://docs.crowd.dev/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.readme.io%2F8c9fab5-slack-4.png\&width=768\&dpr=4\&quality=100\&sign=a5b34c65dffa8ff7afb7203f7ad452a3293022f68f0631b3d994b18723bb81d3)
4. Once the app is added, if you go to the channel where you added the app, you will see a message like this:the app is added to X channel by "your name"

5. By clicking on the logo, a menu will appear with an option to add the integration to more channels.

6. Now you can select the channel that you want to connect.
