How do Coffee-Breaks work in Slack?

This article explains the individual steps of the Crewting Coffee-Breaks:


Here you can find the Crewting app in Slack: Apps (left navigation bar in Slack) - Coffee-Break Crewting - Home

Jump directly to a specific section:

✔ Your availability
✔ Scheduling
✔ Invitation
✔ Reschedule Coffee-Break
✔ Participation

Your availability



In the settings of the Coffee-Break app you will find your availability to which you would like to be invited to Coffee-Breaks with your colleagues.

Here you can find your availability in Slack: Apps (left navigation bar in Slack) - Coffee-Break Crewting - Home - Availability

The default times are Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. If you want to change the availability, you can do so in the Coffee-Break app settings.

Tip: Link your calendar in the app settings via Link calendar so that Crewting can take your personal appointments into account when planning the Coffee-Breaks.



Scheduling



Depending on your company's settings, the Coffee-Break will be scheduled automatically and you will receive the final invitation directly or you will receive 5 suggested dates from which you can choose your favorite directly in Slack.

If you forget to choose, our system will automatically schedule the Coffee-Break if your company has enabled this setting.



Invitation



You will always receive coffee break invitations in Slack via a shared direct message with the other participants and via a calendar invitation to your email.

On the invitation itself, you can see who you have been matched with for the upcoming week and which boost has been activated for the Coffee-Break.

The boost can, for example, contain personal questions that make it easier to start the conversation and appear in the Coffee-Break.



Reschedule the Coffee-Break



Of course, appointments are postponed in everyday life. That's why you can also reschedule Crewting appointments directly via the invitation in Slack via Reschedule Coffee-Break or reschedule them from the calendar invitation.


Participation



Join directly via Slack or via your business calendar!

Crewting will send you a reminder 60 and 5 minutes before the appointment so that you can join the Coffee-Break directly. You will also find a link in your calendar invitation that you can use to join the Coffee-Break.
