# Notify Requesters via DM for Private Workflows
If your requesters don't belong to the channel where your Wrangle workflow posts (for example, if you have a sensitive HR or finance workflow that posts to a private channel), you can still keep your requesters in the loop by enabling the "Notify requesters by Slack DM instead of in the thread?" [setting](https://docs.wrangle.io/workflows/designing-a-workflow/editing-workflow-settings-and-design).
Once enabled, your requesters will receive updates via DM from the Wrangle app to let them know how the workflow is progressing.

Make sure your [approval](https://docs.wrangle.io/workflows/designing-a-workflow/approvals) and [task list](https://docs.wrangle.io/workflows/designing-a-workflow/task-lists) step names are descriptive enough that your requesters understand what each stage means, since they won't have the additional context of the Wrangle thread.
