2. Click on **+ Add contact point** button.
3. Give a name to the contact point.
4. Select an **Integration** from the options in the drop down. For a list of supported integrations [click here](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/fundamentals/contact-points/#supported-contact-point-integrations).
5. Configure the additional settings based on the integration selected.
6. One or more than one integration can created for a contact point.
7. Test the contact point and click on **Save contact point** to save the contact point.

The contact point can be edited at will but only be deleted if it isn't used in any of the existing notification policy.
