<h2>Setting Up Notifications in the Build Configuration</h2>
You can set up build notifications on a per-branch basis. For each branch, you can enable/disable notifications and select a target channel. Go to <a href="https://docs.appcircle.io/build/build-profile-configuration" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">build configuration</a> and under the &#8220;Config&#8221; tab, scroll down to the &#8220;Send Build Status to Slack&#8221; option.
To send build start and build end (success/fail) notifications, enable this option and select a target Slack channel in the following dropdown.
The build notifications work both for manual and automatic builds.
