Meeting rooms & events
-
Need a reminder for your meetings and events? We’ve got you covered with 3 types of Slack notifications.
A. When you're attending a meeting, you’ll receive a reminder message in Slack 5-10 minutes before it begins.
B. When you're the organizer of the meeting, you'll receive a reminder to confirm your event for that meeting space. This is a very helpful reminder if your office enforces the Abandoned Meeting Protection covered below.
C. If your meeting is automatically canceled because no one confirmed/checked in, we'll let you know. This only applies to offices that enforce the Abandonded Meeting Protection feature.
Guest arrival notifications for the host
If you're hosting an office visitor, you'll receive a notification in Slack in real-time when your guest has arrived so you can easily meet and greet them.
We'll also notify you if your guest fails any office visitor requirements your office may have (e.g., health checkpoint), which automatically cancels their visit.
