# Connecting to Slack in AWS Glue Studio
<a name="connecting-to-data-slack"></a>

 Slack is an enterprise communications app that lets users send messages and attachments through various public and private channels. If you're a Slack user, you can connect AWS Glue to your Slack account. Then, you can use Slack as a data source in your ETL Jobs. Run these jobs to transfer data between Slack and AWS services or other supported applications.
