# Setting up Mautrix Slack bridging (optional)
<sup>Refer the common guide for configuring mautrix bridges: [Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md)</sup>
**Note**: bridging to [Slack](https://slack.com/) can also happen via the [mx-puppet-slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-slack.md) and [matrix-appservice-slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-slack.md) bridges supported by the playbook.
- For using as a Bot we recommend the [Appservice Slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-slack.md), because it supports plumbing. Note that it is not available for new installation unless you have already created a classic Slack application, because the creation of classic Slack applications, which this bridge makes use of, has been discontinued.
- For personal use with a slack account we recommend the `mautrix-slack` bridge (the one being discussed here), because it is the most fully-featured and stable of the 3 Slack bridges supported by the playbook.

If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
For details about configuring Double Puppeting for this bridge, see the section below: [Set up Double Puppeting](#-set-up-double-puppeting)

There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
There are some additional options you may wish to configure with the bridge.
Take a look at:

- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-slack/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_mautrix_slack_configuration_extension_yaml` variable

4. Now that you're logged in, you can send `help` to the bot to see the available commands.
5. Slack channels should automatically begin bridging if you authenticated using a token. Otherwise, you must wait to receive a message in the channel if you used password authentication.
### 💡 Set up Double Puppeting
After successfully enabling bridging, you may wish to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do).
To set it up, you have 2 ways of going about it.
#### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Appservice Double Puppet
The bridge automatically performs Double Puppeting if [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service is configured and enabled on the server for this playbook.
This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
#### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
When using this method, **each user** that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
- retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain one](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
- make sure you don't log out the `Mautrix-Slack` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
You can learn more here about authentication from the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/slack/authentication.html).
