How to add the Slackbot to a private channel

Any Slack Channel which the Epoch Slackbot has been added to will be available within Epoch for Admins to select when creating Slack Announcements or configuring event Registration Settings.

‍

By default:
‍

• The Epoch Slackbot will be added to all Public Channels and all Private Channels which Epoch has created. These channels will be available for admins to select in Epoch.
  ‍
• The Epoch Slackbot will not be added to Private Channels which were not created by Epoch. These Private Channels will not be available to select in Epoch until the Epoch Slackbot has been added to them.
  ‍

To invite the Epoch Slackbot to a Private Channel, follow these steps:
‍

1. Go into the private Slack channel that you want to announce events in/add guests to.
   ‍
2. Type and enter '@Epoch' in the channel's chat.
   ‍
3. When prompted by Slakcbot message in the Private Channel's chat, click the 'Invite Them' button

‍

‍

Once the Steps 1 - 3 have been completed, the Private Channel will be available to select in Epoch.
