# Setting up MX Puppet Slack (optional)
**Note**: bridging to [Slack ](https://slack.com ) can also happen via the [matrix-appservice-slack ](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-slack.md ) bridge supported by the playbook.
The playbook can install and configure
[mx-puppet-slack ](https://github.com/Sorunome/mx-puppet-slack ) for you.
See the project page to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
To enable the [Slack ](https://slack.com/ ) bridge just use the following
playbook configuration:
```yaml
matrix_mx_puppet_slack_enabled: true
matrix_mx_puppet_slack_client_id: ""
matrix_mx_puppet_slack_client_secret: ""
```
## Usage
Once the bot is enabled you need to start a chat with `Slack Puppet Bridge` with
the handle `@_slackpuppet_bot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base
domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
Three authentication methods are available, Legacy Token, OAuth and xoxc token.
See mx-puppet-slack [documentation ](https://github.com/Sorunome/mx-puppet-slack )
for more information about how to configure the bridge.
Once logged in, send `list` to the bot user to list the available rooms.
Clicking rooms in the list will result in you receiving an invitation to the
bridged room.
Also send `help` to the bot to see the commands available.
