Link a Slack Notification to a DLP Policy

If you have enabled API access for Slack is, you can link a Slack notification to a DLP Policy, which requires using the Skyhigh CASB Slack bot.  

Skyhigh CASB Slack Bot

In Slack, by default, when a user uploads content that violates a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy with a Quarantine or Delete response action, that user is notified through a Slack bot user registered by Skyhigh CASB. This bot is also used to send all other types of notifications in Slack, including incident notifications to the admin. 

The default Slack bot user name for Skyhigh CASB is securityadmin, but you can customize the bot name if you like.
