Firstly, you need to open Slack! You can do this by clicking on the Slack icon in your Applications folder or by using Spotlight search.

Once Slack is open, click on your workspace name at the top left side of the app. A drop-down menu will appear, select ‘Preferences’ from this list.
Step 3: Select Notifications
In the Preferences window, click on the ‘Notifications’ tab.
Step 4: Customize Your Notifications
Here, you have a variety of options to customize your notifications. You can select when to get notified, which sound plays for notifications, and whether to show a preview of messages.
To enable notifications, under the ‘Notify me about’ section, select ‘All new messages’. You can also choose ‘Direct messages, mentions & keywords’ to get notified only for more important messages. If you want to avoid getting too many notifications, you can select ‘Nothing’.
