Slack Setup Checklist

Your step-by-step guide to getting started with our new community space.

1. Join Slack

Midlife Reset Challenge Community

https://midlife-reset.slack.com

You can use Slack in two ways:

The Slack App (recommended for easiest access)
Your Web Browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)

Many members choose to use both - for example, the app on your phone and the browser version on your laptop.

2. Create Your Profile

Inside Slack:

Upload a photo (optional but helpful)
Add your name

This helps the group feel more connected.

3. Turn On or Customize Your Notifications

Staying engaged is key to getting the most out of challenge, so I recommend turning notifications on - at least for a few channels.

Here’s how:

On the Mobile App

Tap the photo or three dots in the top right
Tap “Notifications”
Choose:
- “All new messages”
- Or “Direct messages, mentions & keywords”
Tap “Channel Notifications” to customize specific channels

On Desktop / Browser

Click your name or workspace name (top left)
Select “Preferences”
Click “Notifications”
Choose your global setting (all messages, mentions only, etc.)
Under “Channel Overrides,” choose channels you want to be notified about (Announcements, Coaching Circle, etc.)

Suggested notification settings for Fit Zone:
- Announcements: On
- Community Channel: On
- Master FAQ: not necessary

4. Explore Your Channels

You’ll see a list on the left. Each channel serves a purpose:

master-faq - All key links, onboarding steps, and how-tos
announcements - Updates, important info
community-channel - Introduce yourself. Ask questions, share wins, post pics, connect with other women.

Visit each one so you know what lives where.

5. Say Hello

Pop into #community-chat and introduce yourself.
Share who you are and why you joined the challenge.
This helps us all get connected.

Slack FAQs

Do I need to be tech-savvy to use Slack?

Not at all. If you can click a link and send a text, you can use Slack.

Do I need the app?

You don’t have to, but it does make things easier.
You can also use Slack entirely from your browser if you prefer.

Why am I not seeing notifications?

Check both device and Slack settings.
Ensure notifications are allowed on your phone or laptop, then adjust Slack’s notification preferences.

Can anyone join the workspace?

No. Only members of Your Midlife Reset 21 Day Habit Challenge.

Where do I get coaching support?

Post any questions inside the #Community-channel and I will answer there for everyone to hear (you are likely not the only one with that question/struggle).
