Kadence for Slack does not include a full web-embedded version of the Kadence app. Instead, Slack focuses on notifications, visibility into your schedule, and conversational actions using the Kadence bot (Kadence AI).
What Is Kadence for Slack?
Kadence for Slack connects your Kadence account with Slack so you can:
View your upcoming weekly schedule
Receive booking and check-in notifications
Interact with Kadence using the Slack bot (Kadence AI)
Quickly jump to the Kadence web app when needed
Kadence for Slack is designed to keep you informed and help you take quick actions, not to fully replace the Kadence web app.
