3. You will be redirected to an Authentication screen where you will be asked to provide access to information in your Slack workspace. Select the Allow button connect your workspace.
4. If the account connection is successful, a blue Authentication successfully created message will appear. Select the Finish button to complete this process.

Assigning Your Integration to a Slack Channel

1. Select the event you would like to assign to a Slack channel from the Events page.
2. You will be redirected to the event's Details page. Select the Connected Apps link from the Event Panel to continue.
3. Select the Open button on the Slack tile.

4. You will see a list of all of the channels in your Slack Workspace. Search for and select the channel that you would like to send notifications about your event to.
5. Once you have selected a channel, click the Save Changes button to complete this process.

Note: When an event that has been assigned to a Slack Channel is duplicated, the new event will have the same Slack Channel assigned to it automatically.

Viewing Goldcast Event Notifications in Slack

Note: If the Slack channel you have selected is not receiving notifications, a Workspace Owner may need to approve the app installation. Please refer to this article for instructions on how to submit an app approval request.

After you have successfully installed the Slack Integration and connected it to a channel, you will begin receiving notifications every time a new user has registered for your event.

Additionally, you will receive notifications about event attendance with information about each attendee.
