Booking Related Notifications in Slack

Integrate your YouCanBookMe account with Slack to create an email address for a Slack channel or direct message (DM). 

For most teams working asynchronously, Slack has become an essential tool. So how can you keep the team informed about new bookings received from YouCanBookMe? Send those notifications where everyone sees them - a Slack channel.

This feature is available on all our plans.
