The Slack notifications app sends team members personalized schedule updates and reminders directly to a Slack channel whenever activity occurs in Float.

Sync new allocations and track updates across both platforms as soon as they happen, and never miss an assignment or deadline again.

You must appear on the Schedule to connect to Slack. If you are added to the team as a guest, you won't be able to connect your Slack to Float.

To set up the integration, navigate to Personal > Notifications > Connect to Slack within Float or use the Slack App Directory.

Once you authenticate your credentials and authorize the connection, you are all set!

The Home tab shows you a live view of your schedule for the day. Whenever a change is made in Float, it's instantly reflected here.
​

You can view your schedule for tomorrow or check out your assigned allocations for any date in the future.

The Messages tab is where all of your schedule changes and notifications live. You can see a history of who changed what and receive alerts whenever a new task is added to your schedule, an existing task is updated, or when people that you manage request time off or people on your projects schedule time off. This is also where you will receive your schedule for the day and log time reminders.

Slack notifications (for example, time off requests) are not sent if you have already acknowledged them in the Float app. If they are not seen within at least 15 minutes, the notification is triggered. The first notification is sent around 15 minutes after you go offline.

💡 Here's a tip: Use Slack shortcuts /float today and /float tomorrow for a filtered view of your schedule on the Messages tab.

If your team uses time tracking, you can also receive a helpful Slack nudge to log your hours.

Setting a status in Float helps keep your team in the loop and ensures that logistics don't get in the way of productivity. You can share your scheduled status across Float and Slack to give your team even greater visibility.

📝Note: The scheduled status sync is turned on by default but can be disabled from the Slack Settings page.

You can turn your schedule and time tracking reminders on and off and change the time that your reminders arrive in the Settings tab.
