##### View upcoming events on Slack

Epoch’s Slackbot or an Admin will post about upcoming events in a channel. Click on the event title to learn more about the event on Epoch.

Here's a sample of what the event messages will look like:

##### RSVP to events

To RSVP to an event on Slack, click on any of the buttons on the event message:

- **Confirm** means you're attending and your spot is confirmed. You'll receive a calendar invite with a "Yes" status and related reminders on Slack and/or email.
- **Maybe** means you're not sure if you can attend yet. You'll receive a calendar invite with a "Maybe" status and related reminders on Slack and/or email. Make sure to update your RSVP to "Confirm" if you're planning to attend. **‍**
- **Decline** means you aren't able to attend. You won't receive any further communications. **‍**
- **Join waitlist** means the event is full. You'll automatically be added to an event when a spot opens up.

Updating your RSVP on any platform will automatically sync with the Epoch web app, calendar, and Slack.

##### Get automated reminders and surveys

Besides announcements from admins, the Epoch Slackbot will also send you:

- **Invitations:** Direct messages to let you know that you've been invited to an event.
- **Confirmations:** Direct messages to confirm your RSVP status for an event.
- **Reminders:** Custom reminders that event organizers have set up for an event that you confirmed into.
- **Surveys:** Pre-event questionnaires and feedback forms that event organizers have set up for an event you confirmed into.
