How to Book a Meeting Room in Slack<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be honest: the last thing your team needs is another<\/em> app to manage, another tab to keep open, and another distraction that pulls them away from what really matters. But meetings? They\u2019re a must-do, even if they\u2019re not always the highlight of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where Joan\u2019s Slack integration comes in and saves the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of frantically flipping between apps or asking your team for a status update, you simply pop open Slack (because, let\u2019s be real, you\u2019re already there anyway),  you type a quick command, and that\u2019s it. Your meeting room is booked. No need to switch apps, no need to leave your workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive into the first step to making this integration happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to integrate Joan with Slack <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Integrating Joan with Slack is both simple and highly effective. It will streamline room management while seamlessly fitting into your team\u2019s daily communication flow.  Here\u2019s how you can set it up in no time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Log in to <\/strong>MyJoan<\/strong><\/a> with your credentials<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Start by logging into your MyJoan account<\/a>. This is your control center for managing all things Joan, from room bookings to integrations. Ensure you have admin privileges, as you\u2019ll need them to complete the setup process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Navigate to the \u201cSettings\u201d page<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      After logging in, head over to the \u201cSettings\u201d page. You\u2019ll find this option in the top navigation menu. The Settings page is where you can customize your Joan experience, whether you’re using Joan Room, Joan Desk, or Joan Visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Select \u201cIntegrations\u201d from the left-hand side menu\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Integrations show you all the ways you can connect Joan with other platforms. You\u2019ll find a dropdown menu with options like calendars, SCIM, API, chat bots, and presence detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Click on the \u201cChat bots\u201d and select the Slack icon\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Within the Integrations menu, scroll down to the \u201cChat Bots\u201d section. Here, you\u2019ll find the Slack icon\u2014click it. This action initiates the connection process between Joan and Slack.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Allow permissions on your company\u2019s Slack page<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            After clicking the Slack icon, you\u2019ll be redirected to your company\u2019s Slack page. You\u2019ll be prompted to allow specific permissions for Joan, such as access to channels and the ability to send messages. Review the permissions carefully; these ensure that Joan can function correctly within Slack. If you agree to the terms, click \u201cInstall.\u201d This step is crucial for a seamless integration and optimal performance.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Return to MyJoan to confirm integration success<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Once you\u2019ve allowed the permissions, you\u2019ll be redirected back to MyJoan. Look for a notification confirming that Joan has been successfully integrated with Slack. This confirmation means you\u2019re all set! Joan is now ready to help you manage meeting rooms directly from your Slack channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              How Joanbot works in action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Booking a meeting room shouldn\u2019t feel like a chore, and with Joanbot on Slack, it\u2019s anything but. Joanbot lets you reserve a room with just a quick message; no need to switch apps or hunt for availability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Once you\u2019ve nailed down the details with your colleague, simply ask Joan to book a room, and it\u2019s handled. Joanbot is savvy enough to understand natural language, so you can talk to it just like you would to a coworker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Want to be sure everything\u2019s clear? Keep it direct and to the point. For instance, try saying, “Get me a room for tomorrow at 2 PM,”<\/em> or “Hey Joan, book the joy room on July 31st at 9:30 AM for 2 hours.” <\/em>It\u2019s like having your own personal assistant, but one that\u2019s always just a Slack message away.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
