# Step 5: Test the integration between your Lex V2 bot and Slack
<a name="slack-step-5"></a>

Now use a browser window to test the integration of Slack with your Amazon Lex V2 bot.

**To test your Slack application**

1. Launch Slack. From the left menu, in the **Direct Messages** section, choose your bot. If you don't see your bot, choose the plus icon (\$1) next to **Direct Messages** to search for it.

1. Engage in a chat with your Slack application. Your bot responds to messages.

   If you created the bot using [Exercise 1: Create a chatbot from a template](exercise-1.md), you can use the example conversations from that exercise.
