Set up team & community chat
Community turns Dans101 from a booking tool into a home for your crew. Owners get channel management; students see the channels they’re allowed to join after they book with you.

Sign in as owner
Use your studio subdomain login (e.g. pulse-crew.dans101.com/login) with the email you registered. Magic link only — no password for hosts.

Open Community in the dashboard
Dashboard → Community. Your tenant gets default channels: #Announcements (you post, students read), #General (everyone who booked), #Staff-Only (teachers only).

Optional: connect Slack
If your team already lives in Slack, connect your workspace under Dashboard → Slack. Bind channels so announcements can cross-post.

Per-class channels (automatic)
When students book a session, they can access session-scoped chat and recaps. After class + 48h, active channels archive into the student’s class history.
