1. Connect your deskbird account in Slack

⚠️ Before you can use deskbird in Slack, a Slack admin must first install the deskbird app for your workspace. Once that is done, follow the steps below to connect your own account.

1. Open Slack and find the deskbird app in your workspace's app list.
2. Go to the Home tab of the deskbird app.
3. Click Log in and complete the authentication flow.

After logging in, deskbird is connected to your Slack account and you are ready to use all features.

2. Plan your work week from Slack

If your company uses deskbird's scheduling feature, you can set your hybrid work plan directly in Slack:

1. Open the deskbird app in Slack and go to the Home tab.
2. Select your status for each day — for example office, remote, or home.
3. Your schedule is updated instantly and your team can see where you will be working from.

💡 There is no need to switch to the deskbird web or mobile app just to update your weekly plan.

3. Booking updates and reminders

The deskbird Slack app keeps you informed about your bookings with timely notifications:

• Booking confirmations — when you book a desk, parking spot, or meeting room in the deskbird web app, you receive a confirmation directly in Slack.
• Cancellation alerts — if one of your bookings is cancelled, you will be notified in Slack.
• Reminders — the app sends timely reminders before your bookings so you never miss a reservation.

4. Check in from Slack

If your company has the check-in feature enabled, you can confirm your booking directly from Slack:

1. When your booking starts, you will receive a prompt in Slack with a Check in now button.
2. Click Check in now to confirm your presence.

No need to open the deskbird web or mobile app — the check-in is completed entirely within Slack.
