Slack booking alerts and booking commands
Connect Slack and SchedulingKit posts an alert to your chosen channel whenever a booking is made, cancelled or rescheduled. Your team can also type /schedule to list today's, tomorrow's or this week's bookings, or book a service through an interactive picker.
How the connection works
Connect Slack in Settings → Integrations → Notifications. During Slack's authorization you pick the channel for alerts. SchedulingKit then posts new, cancelled and rescheduled bookings there, and adds the /schedule command to your workspace.

Slack workflows
Booking notifications
SchedulingKit posts a message to your configured channel when a booking is created, cancelled or rescheduled, with the booking's details. All alerts go to that one channel.
Checking and making bookings from Slack
Type /schedule today, /schedule tomorrow or /schedule week to see upcoming bookings, /schedule list to list them, or /schedule book [service] to book through an interactive picker (service, then date, time and confirmation). /schedule help shows everything. Shift swaps, booking approvals and availability changes aren't done from Slack.
Routing alerts to other channels
Alerts go to the single channel you chose when connecting. SchedulingKit doesn't route alerts to different channels per client or per service; if you need that, build it separately, for example with a Zap.
What the Slack integration doesn't do
- All alerts go to one channel; no per-client or per-service routing.
- No shift swaps, booking approvals or availability editing from Slack.
- Alerts cover new, cancelled and rescheduled bookings.
