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 Slack App 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 to this chat app. You can now book a desk, get notified about your upcoming booking, and get notified when visitors arrive.
A Peek Into Your Office
With Skedda 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, so you get automatic notifications of who's coming into the office.
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.
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.
