Quick overview of your notification options:

  • notifications via email (only if you do not use MS Teams or Slack)

Enabling the Slack integration

Where to find this view: Dashboard -> Organization name drop down -> settings -> install Cyberday for Slack

Before enabling the Slack integration, make sure you do not want to use the MS Teams integration. You cannot use both integrations at the same time, but you need to decide for either Slack or MS Teams. To activate the Slack integration, do the following steps:

  1. Go to the organisation dashboard in your Cyberday account.
  2. Select settings from the menu on the left and scroll down to "install Cyberday for Slack"
  3. Optional: User Syncing. If you would like to automatically create a Cyberday account for your employees in your Slack workspace to have access to the Guidebook (only), move the slider under "Sync users from Slack to Cyberday automatically" to the right. The employees then will not be able to access the organisation dashboard or taskbook. If you would like to allow the access to either, you can later on switch the settings for each employee in the user management settings.
  4. Click "Install".
  1. A new window will open. Enter your Slack workspace URL. You can ind it in Slack when clicking on the drop-down menu option next to your organisation name.
  1. Fill in the URL (see screenshots above) and click on "Continue", so you will get to the next page, where you will have to log in with your email into your Slack workspace.
  2. Allow the permission requests for the Slack integration and finish the installation process.
  1. Cyberday will be listed in "Apps" in the menu on the left in your Slack.
