# Notification

The "**Notification**" is typically used at the end of the pipeline and doesn't have an output that can call the next task.

It is typically used to send messages to the "write" [integrations](/integrations/connecting-a-data-source.md) you configured before.

For example, that's how you can send a message to Slack:

<figure><img src="/files/VFitYmDbR0VbizfpXGrH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Resulting message in Slack:

<figure><img src="/files/CUNVNHXBgeItnTZXbQJx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Learn more about the [formatting of messages here](/pipelines/formatting-of-messages.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
If an integration supports sending files to it (for example, [E-mails](/integrations/library-of-integrations/e-mail.md)), you can do it the same way it is done with the "[API call](/pipelines/tasks-ip/api-call.md)".
{% endhint %}
