Frequently asked questions

‍

‍

Why don't I see the Slack channel I'm looking for?

‍

If you're browsing by scrolling through the dropdown, there's a limitation on the number of channels we can display. However, all Slack channels are searchable, so please type the Slack channel name you're looking for and it should appear as an option.

‍

If you're looking for a private Slack channel, the Epoch Slackbot needs to be invited to the channel first before it appears in the dropdown. To learn more, read this article.

‍

If you still can't find the channel you're looking for, please reach out to support@epochapp.com to re-sync all Slack channels.

‍

‍

Will guests be removed if they cancel their spot?

‍

No, they will not be automatically removed from the event's Slack channel. This is due to Slack's default settings for bot permissions (i.e. only workspace owners and admins are allowed to remove people from public channels).
