Congratulations, you're done! You have successfully set up your Discord account for your organisation and can start receiving org-level notifications on the given Discord channel.

## Disconnect a Discord account for an organisation

You have the flexibility to disconnect your Discord account setup at any given time if you do not wish to receive organisational-level notifications.

To do so, navigate to the **Notifications -> Organisation** under the **Settings** section, and click on the **Disconnect** button associated with the Discord channel.
