Launching Count.It for Slack (for Admins)!

Add the Count.It Slack integration to your workspace, and invite your co-workers to join.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If your company uses Slack, you can bring your Count.It challenge action to your Slack workspace.

  • Challenge updates for the group flow directly into your chosen Slack channel.

  • Click to view the challenge leaderboards, or your personal stats.

  • Manually log your latest workout right from Slack.

  • And more...

PRO Tip:

The Count.It Slack integration is not a replacement for the Count.It mobile app -- they're best used together. Your challengers will still connect fitness trackers via the Count.It mobile app, and there are some features that only exist in the mobile app; but, for companies running Slack, the Count.It Slack integration is a no brainer for boosting engagement!

Add Count.It to Your Slack

It takes just a minute to add the Count.It Slack integration to your Slack workspace. A few quick tips:

  • You must be an admin of your Count.It group. If you haven't created your Count.It group, start here!

  • Also, be sure you have the necessary permissions to add apps to your Slack workspace.

Part 1: Add to Slack


  • Tap on the Settings ⚙️ icon at the top of your Group Home screen

  • Tap on the Integrations button.

  • Tap the "Add to Slack" button

  • Follow the prompts to connect your Count.It account to Slack, and grant the requested permissions.

  • Important: If you are signed in to more than one Slack workspace, be sure you are granting permissions for the correct one! (You will see a dropdown select option at the top of the permissions screen to choose your workspace.)

Part 2: Connecting Your Account


  • Once connected, the Count.It Slack integration will appear in your workspace navigation on the left, under the "Apps" section.

  • Tap on the Count.It, and you will land on the "Home" screen.

  • Tap on the Get Started button to connect your Slack account to your Count.It account. You will grant permissions again.

Part 3: Launching the Slack Integration


Once Count.It for Slack is installed, and you are connected, you will be able to configure and launch it from your the integration's Slack home screen.

There are several available settings.

  • Set your challenge #channel. The app will deliver news to one Slack #channel. Typically, this channel is dedicated to the challenge, though it may also be the hub for additional wellness initiatives.

  • Send the Count.It launch message. When you're ready to alert users to the Count.It Slack integration, and invite them to the challenge, tap the "Launch" button to deliver invite message to your designated #channel.

That's it, you're done!
