Digital Photo Gallery integrates deeply with Slack, this functionality is especially useful if you are running a shared site with many photographers.

You can create a Slack account [here](https://slack.com/r/02b3nnjp-1346rmsm) and receive $100.00 in free credit to get you started.

Integrating your DPG account with Slack will allow you and your team to receive notifications for:

* Reports of all user activity, for example - uploads, adding keywords, deleting images.
* Real-time download alerts, to track exactly who is downloading your images.
* Press Site sign ups.

Slack works best when used with their mobile and desktop apps which you can download [here](https://slack.com/downloads).

> 💡 **Tip:** If you are working with a team the DPG channel will generate a lot of notifications, we recommend that you [mute](https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/204411433-Muting-a-channel) the channel in Slack and check it manually when you'd like to see what's been going on.
