Announcing new custom Slack integrations for Penny University

[JnBrymn]

Penny Labs would like to officially introduces a new an improved slack integration: the /penny chat command. This command allows you to create and share invitations for your Penny Chats.

When you enter /penny chat into slack a form will pop up like this:

Update the title and description, set the date, and then you can invite whoever you would like, including individuals and entire channels.

Once you click "Done" then we will show you a preview of what will be shared with others. Click "Edit Details" if you see something that needs to change. Then when you're ready, click "Share" to send out the invitation.

An invitation will be sent to others in slack like this

If you can attend, then click "Count me in" otherwise click "I can't make it" and we will let the organizer know your attendance status.

Coming very soon we will also provide attending users with a Penny Chat right before the chat starts.

If you're on slack then try out /penny chat  and give us you're feedback. If you're not on slack, then it might be a great time to check us out again because interesting things are happening right now. Log in at https://penny-university.slack.com/ (and tell me if you have any trouble getting in).

Cheers!
