The use case in this particular example is a recipe that [posts a message to Slack](https://venntechnology.com/blog/2021/07/what-is-the-best-way-to-automate-the-handoff-from-sales-to-customer-onboarding) every time a Salesforce Opportunity is Closed Won.  Omar demonstrates how using Configuration Parameters allows for more recipe flexibility, such as allowing Business Users to edit some recipe settings without having to work in the main body of the recipe and risk breaking something. This recipe can toggle between Production and Test environments and can also toggle between whether or not the recipe sends alerts via email.  **In this [video](https://youtu.be/FHD2u00zuDM), you’ll learn how to:** - Access the Configuration Menu in Workato - Create JSON Schema for [specific parameters](https://docs.workato.com/developing-connectors/sdk/guides/data-formats/json-format.html#sample-code-snippet) - Customize and test configuration settings across environments and role types Wondering if Workato is the right [middleware solution](https://www.workato.com/) for your organization?
