You will automatically receive reminders via Slack DMs when check-ins are due. No need for you to configure anything.

You can click on the button **Create check-in** to update progress from Slack, or click on **Go to your inbox** to be redirected to your **Focus Dashboard** in Tability.

You can disable the check-ins reminders by clicking on your avatar in the workspace header, and then **Manage your notifications**.

### Getting a weekly digest in Slack

You can connect a Tability plan to a Slack channel to get a weekly summary of progress while the plan is active.

1. Go to your plan dashboard
2. Click on the `...` button in the plan nav to open up the plan menu
3. Go to **Plan settings > Notifications**
4. Select the Slack channel that you want to connect your plan to
5. Click **Save**

Once saved, you will see a notification in the channel indicating that the plan is connected.

#### If you cannot find the channel in the list

Large Slack workspaces can have more channels than Tability can show in the picker. If the channel is missing from the list, paste the Slack channel ID directly into the Slack channel field and click **Save**. Tability will validate the channel with Slack and save the channel name once it is connected.

To find a Slack channel ID:

1. Open the channel in Slack
2. Click the channel name at the top of Slack
3. Copy the channel ID from the channel details

Private channels are supported too. Add Tability to the private channel first, then paste the channel ID in Tability.
