Description

Description

Currently, when an event is scheduled, it sends a message to slack indicating that it has been scheduled. We want to update this message to include a link to the event on Finishline.

Acceptance Criteria
  • When an event is scheduled, the slack message includes a link to the event on Finishline
Proposed Solution

In slack.utils.ts, look at the sendEventScheduledSlackNotif function, and update it to include a link to the scheduled event

Research direction

Start in slack.utils.ts at sendEventScheduledSlackNotif and inspect how the scheduled event and its FinishLine URL can be represented in the existing Slack message. Update the notification so it includes a link to the scheduled event, then verify that every event-scheduled message contains that link.
