Remind your team to book in by sending a weekly message to a channel showing who else is in

You'll need to be an admin to do this. Find out how to grant admin permissions to a user here.

Step 1: Select a channel you want to receive a reminder in and open it in Slack. In this example we're going to use the "general" channel.

Step 2: Invite the Hot Desk bot to the channel. Use the "/invite" slash command to add Hot Desk to the channel.

Step 6: Select the channel you added Hot Desk to, the day and time you want the reminder to be sent, the space you want to send booking information about, and what day you want to show bookings for. You can show booking information for the current day on the next day that's visible in your calendar settings. The next day is useful if you want to remind your team to book in for the next working day. Once complete click "Create reminder". All reminders are sent weekly and automatically adjust for daylight savings time if appropriate to your timezone.
