    stringData:
      slack-token: <base64 encoded auth-token>
    ```

13. Configure the Slack integration token in configmap called “**argocd-notifications-controller-cm**”.&#x20;

    <pre data-overflow="wrap"><code>apiVersion: v1configure the Slack integration token in configmap called argocd-notifications-controller-cm

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: argocd-notifications-cm
