Testing the integration
Back to top
If you've completed the previous steps, you are now ready to receive booking notifications through your Slack channel.
The next step is to test it! Create a test booking in your system, or wait for a new live booking.
Once a booking has been completed, you see a notification in the Slack channel you have linked to Checkfront.
Clicking on the blue booking ID link 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 relate to the colours of your booking statuses in Checkfront. Booking status colours do not carry over to Slack. |
