BID - Webhooks for Rep Notifications

Slack & Discord Webhooks as of 9/17/24

Updated over a month ago

BCurrently BID is integrated with the capability to allow Slack and Discord Webhooks. A Webhook allows notifications from BID to be integrated into your facility's Slack or Discord channels. As a Facrep (or Area Rep) this would allow for you to get notifications on when each person in your Local is up to BID and what bid was entered. The integrations for Slack & Discord are setup a little differently for each.
