Setup the Integration 

To set the integration between GoCo and Slack, you need to be a GoCo full access administrator and complete the following steps:

1. If you have not already, set up a Slack company account.  You can set up a free account here: https://slack.com/ 
2. Login to GoCo and navigate to the Marketplace through the left-side navigation or by selecting "View" on the Marketplace card.
   

   Note: If you don't see the card, you don't have the right administrator privileges in GoCo. Talk to the person at your company that manages your GoCo account.

3. Find the Slack card and click to open the integration modal.
4. You'll be asked to give GoCo access to your Slack workspace. Allow access.
   Note: If you are not the Slack workspace manager, you will be asked to request to allow access. Submit the request and reach out to your Slack workspace admin for approval.
5. GoCo will now be connected to Slack!

Slack & GoCo are connected, what's next?

To adjust your GoCo <> Slack settings, just click anywhere on the Slack card in the GoCo Marketplace to view the settings screen.

Here, you can enable different notifications and adjust the channel GoCo posts notifications to. Companywide notifications that can be posted to a channel include:

1. Birthdays
2. Work Anniversaries
3. Holidays
4. Out of the Office

When a notification appears in Slack, it will be displayed similar to the example below.

Note: you can pick some channels and not others
