Booking reminders and notifications

The emails and Slack messages Deskfound sends, and how to change them

Quick answer

Where: Choose your reminders in the web app (app.deskfound.com), under Settings → Personal. Reminders arrive by email or as a Slack message from Deskfound.

On each day you have a desk booked, Deskfound sends you a reminder at 7am (your office's local time). Choose whether it arrives by email, Slack, both or not at all in Settings → Personal → Booking reminders.

The morning reminder

  • Sent at 7am in your office's timezone on the day of your booking.
  • One reminder per day, listing every booking you have that day, such as a morning desk and an afternoon desk.
  • The Slack version arrives in Deskfound's Messages tab in Slack. If your admin has turned on Slack check-in, it has a Check in button.
  • The default is Email. To get it in Slack, choose Slack or Both and make sure your Slack account is linked. If it isn't, the settings page warns you that Slack reminders won't be sent.

Change or turn off reminders

  1. Click the gear icon at the top right of the web app to open Settings.
  2. On the Personal tab, change Booking reminders to Email, Slack, Both or None.
  3. Click Save changes.

Other messages you might get

  • Slack booking confirmation: when you book from Slack, a confirmation arrives in Deskfound's Messages tab, with Cancel booking and Make another booking buttons.
  • "A desk is booked for you": an email when someone else books a desk for you.
  • Invitation: an email with a Join now button when an admin invites you.
  • Channel messages: your office's Slack channel may get a daily "Who's in the office today?" message, a weekly "Want to visit the office next week?" message, or a post whenever someone books. Your admin controls these.

Booking a desk for yourself on the web doesn't send a confirmation email. The booking appears on the page straight away.

Deskfound emails come from no-reply@deskfound.com. If you're not getting them, check your spam folder and ask your IT team to allow that address.
