Notifications integration

Your events' key moments, announced in Slack

An event confirmed, an option placed, a cancellation: the team learns it in Slack, with the date, the client and the amount, without watching a dashboard.

Real-time announcements

An event status change is posted to your Slack channel the moment it happens.

Your channels, your rules

Choose the channel and the statuses that trigger an announcement: confirmations, options, losses, cancellations.

Connected in minutes

Standard Slack authorization from your Joinways settings. Revocable at any time.

What the Slack integration does, concretely

Slack is where your team already lives. The integration brings the news that matters there: the pipeline moving.

Nobody misses a confirmation

The confirmed event is announced where the team already looks. Preparation starts without waiting for Monday's meeting.

Context in the message

The announcement carries the date, venue, client, headcount and amount: enough to understand without clicking.

From Slack to action

A button leads straight to the event in Joinways, to act on the spot.

What Slack receives

  • An announcement on every event status change: option, confirmed, lost, cancelled
  • Confirmed amendments, announced too
  • The date, venue, client, headcount and amount, in the message
  • A direct button to the event in Joinways, and the channel of your choice

How to connect Slack to Joinways

The connection uses Slack's standard authorization, from your Joinways settings.

  1. 1

    Open your integration settings

    In Joinways, go to Settings, then Integrations, and choose Slack.

  2. 2

    Authorize the workspace

    Sign in to Slack and approve the connection for your team's workspace.

  3. 3

    Choose the channel and statuses

    Pick the channel that receives the announcements and the statuses that trigger them, confirmations for example.

  4. 4

    Let the announcements flow

    From the next status change on, the team knows in Slack, in real time.

Two situations where it changes the day

The confirmation that doesn't wait for Monday

The quote is signed on Friday evening, the event turns confirmed: the announcement lands in the channel, and kitchen and floor both know one more Saturday is booked.

The cancellation everyone sees

A cancelled event is announced immediately: the date frees up, and the sales team can offer it again instead of discovering the cancellation by accident.

Why announce your events in Slack?

An event's status is the information the whole team waits for: a confirmation commits the kitchen, the floor and the planning; a cancellation frees a date to resell. As long as that information lives in a tool people check when they think of it, it travels by hallway.

Publishing status changes to Slack puts everyone at the same level of information, at the same moment. The channel becomes the venue's news feed: what confirms, what falls through, what moves.

And without the Slack integration?

Statuses change in Joinways and the news spreads by voice, by copy-pasted message, or at the next meeting. Everyone learns it at a different time.

A confirmation learned late is a preparation that starts late; a cancellation discovered late is a date you can no longer sell.

Slack integration, common questions

What triggers a Slack announcement?
An event status change in your Joinways workspace: moving to option, confirmation, loss or cancellation, plus confirmed amendments. You choose which ones are announced.
Can I choose the channel?
Yes. You pick the channel during setup, and you can change it later from your settings.
What does the announcement contain?
The event's date, venue, client, contact, headcount, amount and source, with a button that opens the event in Joinways.
Is Microsoft Teams supported too?
Teams notifications are coming soon, as they exist today in Slack.
Can I disconnect Slack at any time?
Yes, from your Joinways integration settings or from your Slack workspace's app management.
Will this spam our Slack?
You choose which statuses are announced: by default, only confirmations are. The channel receives the news that matters, not an activity feed.
Do the alerts expose sensitive data?
They carry the essentials needed to act fast; the full file stays in Joinways, behind your login.
