This article will help you integrate Highfive and Slack, allowing you to invite channels, groups, and users to your Highfive call while a) in our app, or b) to drop an invite into a Slack channel without leaving Slack.
Your team's Highfive administrator should set up the integration from your team's domain dashboard (this only needs to be done once). If you're not an administrator, you can head straight here to set up Slack invites from a Highfive call.
In order to integrate Highfive with Slack so you can send and receive invites to calls using your favorite chat client, watch the quick video or follow the step-by-step instructions below:
Step 1: Head to your Domain Dashboard at [YourCompanyDomain].highfive.com/domain/dashboard/settings/integrations/list
Step 2: Select Integrations from the menu on the left, under Devices
Step 3: Click on the gear icon on the Slack row
Step 4: Select Expand in the Setup Instructions bubble
Step 5: Follow the list of instructions that appear
Step 6: Once you've entered the Webhook URL and have generated and pasted the Slash Command URL on Slacks page, hit the orange Save button
Now that you have the integration setup, it's time to use it!

Step 1: Open Slack and enter a group channel or direct chat
Step 2: type "/highfive" followed by the name of the call you intend to create
Step 3: Hit enter to place a link in the chat!
Inviting from Slack when in-call
