Coming soon: Slack isn’t generally available yet. We’ll announce it in the changelog when it launches.
Once available, you’ll connect a Slack workspace to Soundcheck, then create a private channel for any gig straight from its Actions menu. Crew will be added to the channel automatically when they accept, and removed if they drop off, so the channel roster always matches who’s actually booked. Owners and admins can also import workspace members as invitations from the Slack card.

​
Before you start

  • You need an owner or admin role to connect or manage the Slack workspace.
  • You need permission in Slack to authorize an app for your workspace.

​
Connect a Slack workspace

1

Open Integrations

Go to Settings → Connected apps → Integrations and find the Slack card.
2

Click Connect Slack

Soundcheck sends you to Slack’s authorization page.
3

Authorize on Slack

Sign in to Slack (if you aren’t already), pick the workspace to connect, and approve access. Slack sends you back to Soundcheck.
4

Confirm the connection

Soundcheck confirms with Slack connected and you can now create a Slack channel from any gig’s Actions menu.
Only owners and admins can connect or manage the workspace connection. Other roles see a note to ask an organization owner or admin to connect Slack.

​
Import members from Slack

After the workspace is connected, an owner or admin can import workspace members as invitations from the Slack card. Soundcheck does not invite anyone when the connection is first made.
1

Open the Slack card

Go to Settings → Connected apps → Integrations, open Slack, and choose Import members.
2

Review the list

Full members with an email start selected. Guests are listed unchecked. Bots and people without an email are omitted. Existing members and pending invites are shown and are not invited again.
3

Confirm

Import the people you selected. Each one receives a member invitation by email and joins the organization when they accept.

​
Create a channel for a gig

1

Open the gig

Go to the gig you want a channel for.
2

Open the Actions menu

Choose Create Slack channel.
3

Name the channel

Enter a channel name. Soundcheck creates it as a private channel in your connected workspace.
4

Create the channel

Click Create channel. The gig’s assignees are added right away, and crew are added automatically when they accept.

​
How crew stay in sync

Once a gig has a channel, Soundcheck keeps its membership in sync automatically:
  • A crew member is added when they accept an invitation or a shift for that gig.
  • Everyone assigned to the gig (the people shown next to Assigned in the gig header) is added as well, whether or not they’re on the crew.
  • A person is removed only when nothing keeps them in the channel. Someone who is both accepted crew and an assignee stays if they’re unassigned or if they drop off the crew; they’re removed once neither applies.
Crew whose Slack account doesn’t match the email Soundcheck has on file can’t be added automatically. After creating or syncing a channel, the summary tells you how many crew weren’t matched so you can follow up.

​
Deleting a gig

When a deleted gig is permanently removed, 30 days after it’s deleted, its Slack channel is archived. The channel and its message history stay in Slack; Soundcheck just stops managing its membership. Restoring the gig within the 30 days leaves the channel as it was.

​
Reconnecting or disconnecting

If Slack access is revoked (for example, the app was removed from your workspace), the Slack card shows an Access revoked state: crew stop being added to gig channels until you reconnect. Click Reconnect Slack to pick up where you left off. To stop the integration entirely, click Disconnect on the Slack card and confirm. Existing channels stay in Slack, but Soundcheck stops adding and removing crew. You can reconnect at any time.
