If you've completed the previous steps, then you are now ready to receive booking notifications through your Slack channel.

The next step is to test it! Go ahead and create a test booking in your system, or wait for a new live booking to come in.

Once a booking has been completed, you see a notification in the Slack channel you have linked to Checkfront.  

 

Clicking on the booking ID, within the Slack notification, launches the booking in Checkfront in a new browser window.

 

Each booking notification in Slack is highlighted in blue. This does not correspond to the colours of your booking statuses in Checkfront. Booking status colours are not carried over to Slack. Also, notifications are only sent for new bookings. No other booking status is triggered, for example, booking cancellations.
