# Pandora FMS Configuration: Creating an Alert Action

The zip package where the binary comes also contains a file called `test-exec.txt` which contains information about additional parameters that will enrich the sent message (subtitle, color, web link button, etc.).

To create an [alert command](https://prewebs.pandorafms.com/docs/index.php?title=Pandora:Documentation_en:Alerts#Introduction_to_the_alert_system), go to the [Pandora FMS Web Console](https://prewebs.pandorafms.com/docs/index.php?title=Pandora:Documentation_en:Interface) and click on **Alerts** -> **Commands** -> **Create**.

Next, define the eight necessary fields plus the last two parameters which are constants. Make sure that field number two has the **Hide** box checked and enter the authorization link obtained on the previous page there.

The `test-exec` file that accompanies the *Slack connector CLI* contains information that you can use to fill in these fields. Click the **Create** button to save the alert command.

[Alert actions](https://prewebs.pandorafms.com/docs/index.php?title=Pandora:Documentation_en:Alerts#Action) allow you to define *how* to launch the command. Go to the **Alerts** -> **Actions** -> **Create** menu.

Select the alert command created on the previous page in **Command**; the fields will be filled automatically. However, you can always customize the icons or messages for **Triggering** and **Recovery** events, for example.

To save, click **Create**. To apply this action, whether to a [Module or Policy](https://pandorafms.com/docs/index.php?title=Pandora:Documentation_en:Policies#Modules), set an [alert template](https://pandorafms.com/docs/index.php?title=Pandora:Documentation_en:Alerts#Alert_template) for that purpose.
