Sign In App Documentation

This is a guide to installing Slack notifications in Sign In App. This allows your organisation to receive notifications when an event happens in Sign In App and the associated information directly in Slack.

How it works

There are different events in Sign In App which can be triggered. These are 'sign in', 'sign out' and 'pre registration'. When an event happens in Sign In App, the information about that event can be posted to different channels, one of which is Slack. When someone arrives, for instance, an information card is posted to the selected Slack channel detailing the event, some of the data captured and if available, a photo.

Installation

In the Sign In App portal go to Notifications in the 'Manage' section.

From here add a new notification.

Fill out the relevant details, importantly selecting Slack as the desired channel.

Once all required details have been completed, select the button 'Authorise with Slack'.

This will redirect you to Slack where you'll need to login, if not already, select a channel to post notifications to and finally authorise Sign In App to post notifications. After selecting authorise, you'll be redirected back to the Sign In App portal where a new notification will have been created.
