Connecting Deskfound to your Slack workspace

For admins: add Deskfound to Slack for your whole team

Quick answer

Where: Admins connect Slack once, in the web app (app.deskfound.com) under Settings → Slack. It can't be done from inside Slack.

An admin goes to Settings → Slack and clicks Connect to Slack, then approves Deskfound in the Slack window that opens. This connects your whole Slack workspace at once, so nobody else needs to install anything.

Step by step

  1. Click the gear icon at the top right of the web app, then the Slack tab (admins only).
  2. Under Connect to Slack, click Connect to Slack.
  3. In the Slack window, check the workspace at the top right is the right one and click Allow. You may need to be a Slack workspace admin, depending on your Slack settings.
  4. The page shows Connected! and your workspace name.

You can also do this during first-time setup, at the Connect with Slack step.

If nothing happens when you click, your browser may be blocking pop-ups. Allow pop-ups for app.deskfound.com and try again.

After you connect

  • Everyone in the workspace can find Deskfound under Apps in Slack and use /book and /bookings.
  • People are linked to their Deskfound accounts by email the first time they use Deskfound in Slack, or when they click Connect to Slack in their own settings.
  • Next, give each office a Slack channel and turn on daily or weekly messages. See Daily and weekly Slack messages.
  • To let people check in from Slack, turn on Slack check-in in Settings → Account.

Tell your team

A quick message helps adoption: "We use Deskfound to book desks. Type /book in Slack to book, and /bookings to see or cancel yours."

Disconnect Slack

In Settings → Slack, click Disconnect. Deskfound stops posting to your channels until you reconnect.
