# Tagging owners

If you set up an owner and link the owner to a Slack handle, the owner will automatically be tagged in the alert, making it clear to everyone responsible for addressing the alert.

Slack handles can be both individuals (e.g., `John Doe`) or groups (e.g., `product-analytics`)

It’s particularly helpful to associate Slack handles with owners when you have a central alerting channel (e.g., `#data-alerts`) and a larger data team, as it can otherwise be difficult to know who’s responsible for looking at an alert.

*The data team is being tagged for an anomaly alert*
