With Epoch, you can announce an event on Slack with Epoch’s integration to make it a seamless experience for employees to register or mark their interest. You have the ability to announce one or more events in Slack channels within your organization’s Slack workspace.

‍

There are 2 ways to announce an event on Slack:

‍

1. Pre-schedule a Slack message on Epoch’s web app on the admin dashboard.
2. Use Epoch’s unfurl feature by copying and pasting the event link URL directly into Slack.

Note: Slack announcements can't be sent for private events, as event details shouldn't be visible to those who aren't invited.

‍Note: Slack announcements can include up to 10 events in a single message block. If your message includes more than 10 events, Slack will automatically split them into multiple blocks, rather than displaying them all in one.

Anyone can copy and paste the event link URL directly into a Slack channel, and the event details will appear below.
