How does it work with Checkfront?

Whenever a new booking is made, either by a customer/partner on the front end, or a staff member in the back end, a notification will be sent to the selected Slack channel with a link to the booking.

It’s also possible to send a notification when a note is added to a booking by a staff member.

To get started, you’ll need a Slack account. You can create one for free for your business at slack.com. Be sure and download the desktop and mobile applications.

Setup is short and sweet — available in the Add-on section of your Checkfront account (Manage / Add-ons). See our Slack setup guide for configuring Checkfront and Slack.
