Notifications integration
Your events' key moments in Microsoft Teams, soon
The Microsoft Teams connection is not open yet. It is being built on the notification foundation already live with Slack: an event confirmed, a hold placed, a cancellation, announced in the channel where the team already is.
Not connectable yet
Microsoft Teams appears in the communication tab of your integration settings, marked coming soon. Nothing to set up today.
Slack works today
Venues on Slack already get their event status changes announced in a channel. Teams will follow the same pattern.
Outlook already works
If you run Microsoft 365, the mailbox and calendar connections are live, shared mailboxes included. Only the Teams announcements are pending.
What the Microsoft Teams integration will do
The connection will post event status changes in the Teams channel your staff already uses.
Your events' key moments in your channel
A hold placed, an event confirmed, lost or canceled, and confirmed amendments: each one becomes an announcement in the channel you chose.
A message you can act on
Date, venue, client, headcount and amount travel with the announcement, plus a button that opens the event in Joinways.
You decide what deserves an announcement
Pick the statuses worth interrupting the team for and the channel they land in, so the channel stays worth reading.

Where it helps day to day
The Saturday that stops being a surprise
A proposal signed late on Friday confirms the event. With Teams connected, the announcement will be in the channel when kitchen and floor log on Monday.
The cancellation everyone sees at once
Once the connection opens, a canceled event will be announced in the same channel, and sales will see the free date right away.
The amendment the kitchen needs to know
The plan is for a confirmed amendment to be announced like a status change, in the same channel. Until then, that announcement exists in Slack.
Why announce your events in Microsoft Teams?
In a venue, the people who need to know a Saturday is booked are rarely the ones who booked it: kitchen, floor, technical, planning. As long as the news travels by word of mouth or a forwarded email, someone always learns it on the day.
The connection turns each status change into an announcement in the channel that already gathers the team, with the date, the client and the amount. Nobody has to watch a dashboard, and nobody discovers a confirmed event at the last minute. This already runs with Slack; Teams is built on the same foundation.
And in the meantime?
Statuses still live on the event record and in the planning. Nothing is lost, it just does not surface in Teams.
If part of your team is on Slack, that connection exists today and covers the same need.
