The deskbird integration for Slack brings workplace planning into your team's Slack workspace, giving employees booking notifications, scheduling tools, and check-in actions directly in Slack. This article covers admin setup and what the integration enables users to do.
1. Installation
Setting up the deskbird Slack integration requires two steps:
Step 1 — Slack admin installs the app
A Slack workspace admin must install the deskbird app via the link below and grant the required app permissions. This makes deskbird available across the organization's Slack workspace.
Step 2 — Each user activates their account
After the admin installs the app, each user must add deskbird individually. Users open the deskbird app in Slack, go to the Home tab, and click Log in to connect their deskbird account.
2. What the integration enables
Once set up, the Slack integration gives employees the following directly in Slack:
- Scheduling: employees can set their work status (office, remote, or home) for any day without leaving Slack
- Booking notifications: real-time confirmations and reminders when bookings are created, updated, or cancelled
- Check-in: if the check-in feature is enabled, employees receive a prompt with a "Check in now" button when their booking starts
3. Data processing
