Turn off Alfy's meeting time suggestions

Stop Alfy from suggesting coffee chat times in Slack or Microsoft Teams when you'd rather let people organize their meetings themselves.

SlackMicrosoft TeamsUpdated Oct 5, 20261 min read

By default, Alfy suggests time slots for each coffee chat group: in the group DM in Slack, and through 📅 Schedule your chat in Microsoft Teams. An Alfy admin can turn this off for a program in the web dashboard.

Turn off time suggestions#

  1. Open the web dashboard, switch to Admin and open the Settings tab.
  2. Click Edit on the program.
  3. Set Do you want Alfy to coordinate scheduling in DMs? (Slack) or Do you want Alfy to coordinate scheduling? (Teams) to No.
  4. Click Save.

The Edit program window, with the scheduling coordination field set to No highlighted

What changes when it's off#

  • Alfy still announces the groups, but suggests no time slots and sends no scheduling reminder.
  • The chat duration field is hidden, since it only sets the length of the suggested slots.
  • In Teams, the 📅 Schedule your chat button no longer appears on the round's post.
