Skedda Launches New Slack & Microsoft Teams Apps

After countless requests, impassioned pleas, and maybe even a few friendly nudges, we’re beyond excited to announce the release of our new Slack and Microsoft Teams apps! Skedda booking information is now available in the collaboration tools where you get your best work done. 

Our brand new Skedda App for Slack adds a Skedda Bot to your team’s Slack workspace, giving you handy notifications about your bookings and visitors, and an easy way to see who is coming into the office for any channel in your Slack workspace. 

This update to our existing Microsoft Teams app also brings booking notifications and reports to this chat app, enhancing our scheduler capabilities. You can now book a desk, get notified about your upcoming booking and when visitors arrive, and see who is coming into the office.

A Peek Into Your Office

With Skedda's integration for Slack, you can find out who is coming into the office and plan your visits accordingly. Just type the /skedda-in command into any Channel to get a message (only visible to you) about your team’s attendance for the upcoming week. 

Additionally, you can type the /skedda-in setup command into any Channel to schedule a recurring bookings report, to get automatic notifications of who's coming into the office on a daily or weekly basis.

‍

Skedda for Microsoft Teams allows you to use Skedda’s booking platform and book a desk right in the app. Everything you need is all in one place.

Find out who is coming into the office with Skedda for Microsoft Teams by typing “@Skedda in” to any channel to get a report of who in that channel is coming into the office. Type  “@Skedda-in setup” to schedule recurring booking reports on a daily or weekly basis. 

“The integration with MS Teams has been helpful. We already use Teams every day, it’s already on our computers, and once they’re logged in, they can immediately use Skedda. Employees did not have to learn a new system, resulting in a 70% user adoption rate,” said Emma Cantrill Jones, IT Project Manager at Trent & Dove

Never Forget a Desk Booking Again

Enabling notifications on Slack and Microsoft Teams ensures that you and your team never forget about a desk booking again! Slack or Microsoft Teams will send you information about your bookings, including confirmations, updates, cancellations, and even reminders to check into your booking 15 minutes before its start time. 

A Warm Welcome for Your Visitors

If your organization has Skedda’s Visitor Management enabled, Slack and Microsoft Teams will now notify you when your visitor checks in. You no longer have to check your inbox as the Skedda chat app will let you know as soon as your visitor arrives. This timely notification will ensure your visitors have the best experience possible.
