Overview

What does the Slack integration do?

The Slack integration is coming soon and on the CaptiFi roadmap. Once it is live, it will route the events that matter most to your team straight into a Slack channel, turning your guest WiFi data into real-time operational signals. It is being built for hotel duty managers and hospitality groups who already run their day in Slack and want guest activity to show up alongside everything else they coordinate there.

When a guest connects to your venue WiFi through your branded CaptiFi captive portal, they sign in and share consented details such as their email, name, venue and visit date. The Slack integration will take those sign-ins and the events around them and surface the important ones to your team. Think VIP-guest arrivals as they walk in, pings when a negative review comes through, and a daily WiFi-stats summary so the team starts the shift knowing how the previous day went.

Venues will connect Slack so the floor does not have to keep refreshing a dashboard to stay informed. Instead of checking a separate screen, duty managers and front-of-house staff will get the right alert in the channel they already watch, which means faster reactions to arrivals and issues and a shared view across the team. It is not available yet, so for now you can start a free trial and use the integrations that are already live.

What you get

Why connect Slack to CaptiFi

Catch VIP arrivals as they happen

When the integration goes live it will ping your channel the moment a VIP guest signs in to the WiFi, so the duty manager can greet them or brief the floor before they reach the desk.

React to bad reviews fast

Negative-review pings will land in Slack in real time, giving your team the chance to follow up while the guest is still on site rather than discovering the issue days later.

Start the shift informed

A daily WiFi-stats summary will post to your channel so managers open the day already knowing how many guests connected and how the venue performed, without opening a separate report.

Keep ops in one place

Built for teams who already coordinate in Slack, it will bring guest activity into the same channels you use for everything else, so nobody has to watch an extra screen.

How it works

How it will work

1

Wait for the rollout

The Slack integration is not live yet. Setup will become available as part of the coming-soon rollout, and existing CaptiFi customers will be able to connect it from the integrations area when it ships.

2

Connect your Slack workspace

You will authorise CaptiFi to post to your Slack workspace and pick the channel where alerts should land, for example a duty-manager or front-of-house channel.

3

Choose which events to send

Select the notifications you want, such as VIP-guest arrivals, negative-review pings and the daily WiFi-stats summary, so the channel only gets the signals your team cares about.

4

Map your venues

For groups running several sites, you will assign each venue to the relevant channel so the right team sees the right arrivals and stats.

5

Confirm and go live

Once connected, alerts will start flowing automatically as guests sign in to the WiFi, with no manual checking needed.

In the real world

How venues use Slack with CaptiFi

Hotel

A duty manager keeps a Slack channel open at the desk. When a VIP guest connects to the WiFi on arrival, the alert pings the channel so the team can greet them by name and brief housekeeping before check-in.

Restaurant

Front-of-house watches a single Slack channel during service. A negative-review ping lands while the guest is still finishing their meal, so the manager can visit the table and put things right before they leave.

Hotel

A hospitality group running ops in Slack gets a daily WiFi-stats summary in each property's channel every morning, so each general manager opens the shift knowing how busy the venue was the day before.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is the Slack integration available yet?
Not yet. The Slack integration is coming soon and on the CaptiFi roadmap. You cannot connect it today, but you can start a free trial and use the integrations that are already live, then add Slack alerts once it ships.
What alerts will the Slack integration send?
It is being built to route three things into a Slack channel: VIP-guest arrivals as guests sign in to the WiFi, pings when a negative review comes through, and a daily WiFi-stats summary. You will be able to choose which of these your team receives.
Who is the Slack integration designed for?
It is built for hotel duty managers and hospitality groups that already run their operations in Slack. If your team coordinates the floor and the shift in Slack channels, the integration will bring guest WiFi activity into the same place rather than a separate dashboard.
Will it work for a group with several venues?
Yes, that is part of the intent. The integration is built for hospitality groups, so you will be able to map each venue to the relevant Slack channel, meaning each property's team sees its own arrivals, review pings and daily stats.
How does the data get into Slack?
When a guest signs in to your branded WiFi portal, they share consented details such as name, venue and visit date. CaptiFi uses those sign-in events to generate the alerts, and once the integration is live it will post the relevant ones to the Slack channel you choose.
Can I control which channel and which alerts go where?
Yes. When it launches you will pick the channel for your alerts, for example a duty-manager channel, and choose which events to send, such as VIP arrivals, review pings or the daily summary, so the channel only carries the signals your team needs.
