# 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](https://docs.ylem.co/integrations) you configured before.

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

Resulting message in Slack:

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