Participants who provide valuable feedback about the next generation of the Slack Platform (currently in beta) are eligible for extra cash prizes.

GET ACCESS

The Slack Platform as it exists today is where and how you’ll be building your project submission, but Slack is in the midst of building exciting new components and rearchitecting the developer platform experience. 

These capabilities are currently in beta, and as a hackathon participant, you have access to a shared workspace where the new platform functionality is enabled. 

Please check the email you used for hackathon sign-up, and you’ll find a workspace invitation for digitalhqslackathon.slack.com.

 

EXPLORE THE NEXT GEN

As long as you’re signed into digitalhqslackathon.slack.com, you’ll be able to view all API documentation and start developing and testing on the new Slack Platform.

Please note that we are still in beta so technical support is limited.

 

GIVE FEEDBACK

Once you’re signed into the Digital HQ Slackathon workspace, navigate to the #feedback-new-platform channel and the shortcuts menu within. It’s the lightning bolt icon next to the message composer. There you’ll find a Submit feedback menu item. Simply select, fill out the form, and follow other prompts until you’ve completed the feedback submission.
