Slack not in Notification Preference list

I am using mac OS Big Sur. I am not getting any notification for Slack. By googling, I got suggestion to change the notification setting for slack from the mac's Notification preference. But, Slack is not listed in the list of apps in the Notification preference. But it is installed in the application folder and, I am already using it. Any idea?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

I GOT IT WORKING! Okay, it might be just me, but here is how I got it:


Open slack, go to Slack > preferences > Notifications and click on 'All new messages'; then scroll down and also select 'show a badge'.


Then ask someone to send you a direct message, and click off their name. Then when they message you, a big notification comes through on the top right, click on it and it'll open up Apple's notification center, and selects Slack (which did not even exist in the list before!). Now you can control the notifications. You can now go back to slack, and tell it not to notify you for everything, the red dot still works.


Let me know if this works for others :)
