About the Slack integration
You can have Scavify post completed task information from your hunt to any Slack channel you manage. This is a powerful tool for a variety of use cases:
- Connect a manager or admin #channel to monitor hunt progress
- Add to a #channel with the participants involved in the hunt to spur further engagement
- Connect the hunt with a direct message @user to track in private
- And much more!
How it works
First you will connect your Scavify account with your Slack account from our integration center. This process will involve logging into your Slack workspace and selecting the #channels and @users which can then be used on Scavify.
After your Scavify account is connected to Slack and you have selected the #channels and @users that can be used - you then have the option to associate any hunt (on a per hunt basis) with these communication channels.
Once a hunt is associated with one or more Slack #channels or @users, the Scavify system will periodically check the activity in your hunt and post information about completed tasks to Slack. The check for activity defaults to every 10 minutes, but is customizable down to 1 minute. If there are multiple completed tasks since the last update, we will post a report style message to Slack that outlines how many of each task type has been completed. However, if there has only been 1 completed challenge we will provide specific details on the task and the participants information.

- In the Slack section click the "Add Chanel" button for the #channel or @user you wish to connect; note: you can repeat this process to connect this hunt to multiple channels
