The Count.It Slack app brings the action of your Count.It challenge into your Slack #channels. It takes just a few minutes to get set up.
PRO Tip: While the Count.It Slack app is awesome, you’ll still want to download the Count.It mobile app to your phone to do a few key things, like:
Connect a fitness tracker
Join your challenge team
Get (optional) push notifications from the challenge
And more...
Link Your Count.It and Slack Accounts
If you don’t yet have an account on Count.It, the following steps will create your new Count.It account, and link it to your Slack. If you have already joined your Count.It group via the mobile app, this will link your existing Count.It and Slack accounts.
Connect via Message Link
Your challenge admin may have posted an "get started" message to the "Welcome" channel (or other #channel) of your workspace with a link to connect your Slack account to Count.It and. If so, simply click that that link.
Follow the prompts and click the "Allow" button to grant the requested permissions to Count.It.
Once complete, you'll be fully connected and returned to the Count.It Slack app "Home" screen.
Connect via Count.It Slack App Home
You can also manually add the Count.It Slack app to your own workspace with a few clicks:
Click on the "Apps" heading in your channel navigation.
Then click on the "Manage" option, and "Browse apps"
On the next screen, search for the Count.It Slack app, and then simply tap on it to add it to your workspace. (For full instructions on managing apps in your workspace, see the Slack Help Center here.)
With the Count.It Slack app open, tap over to the app "Home" tab, and you will see a green "Get Started" button. Click that, and follow the prompts (as shown above) to grant the necessary permissions to Count.It.
Once you have granted permissions, you will be returned to the Count.It Slack app, but now your Slack and Count.It accounts will be fully connected.
Download the Count.It mobile app, and join your challenge
You have now successfully created an account on Count.It, and joined your Count.It challenge group. If you haven't yet downloaded the Count.It mobile app, your Home screen will look like this:
Click on the "Get the Count.It App" button to view a QR code (or links) to download the mobile app. When you download and open the app, simply log in with the same email that is associated with your Slack account. Don't worry, all you need is the email address -- there is no password to remember!
Once logged in, you can tap on any available challenges on your group home screen to join them. You can also tap on the "Join Challenge" button on your Count.It Slack app Home tab.
Nice work, you're done!
