Description

Description

There should be a way to see all of the event details in the FinishLine message, so you can see whats going on before you confirm availability.

Acceptance Criteria

The slack message sent when an event is being scheduled includes more information, including scheduled times, location/zoom link, and description.

Proposed Solution
  • Update the message sent in sendSlackEventNotifications in slack.utils.ts to include scheduled times, location/zoom link, and description.

Research direction

Start in slack.utils.ts at sendSlackEventNotifications and inspect how the event message is assembled. Update the Slack message to include scheduled times, the location or Zoom link, and the description. Done means a scheduling notification displays these event details before availability is confirmed.
