A new unified integration for Slack is now available under a feature flag. It combines previous Slack tools into a single bot and allows companies to create custom notifications for specific channels, teams, or departments, helping reduce unnecessary notifications for employees.
Activate the Slack integration
To activate the integration for Slack and receive notifications about employees, follow these steps:
Go to Settings → Integrations → Slack.
Click Slack.
On the integration page, click Install.
Select your Slack workspace.
Click Allow to authorize the integration.
Once the integration is connected, you can configure Slack notifications for out-of-office updates.
Note: Once enabled here, employees who want to use the PeopleForce bot will need to install it individually from their Account settings page, accessible via the menu in the top-right corner of the screen.
Configure the notification
Choose the type of notification you want to create. Example: Daily summary
Choose one or more Slack channels where the notification should be posted. Notifications will automatically appear in the selected channels.
Enter the notification title that will be displayed in Slack. Example: Welcome to the Team.
Choose which information should be included in the notification summary.
Select which employees should be included in the notification.
Available options:
Everyone — includes all employees
Specific people — includes only employees matching selected conditions
👉 By default, notifications apply only to employees with the Employed lifecycle status.
6. Select the days when notifications should be sent. Example: Monday to Friday
7. Choose the exact time when the notification should be posted to Slack.
8. Choose the time zone used for sending notifications. Example: (GMT+00:00) UTC
9. Save the notification.
Manage notifications
After setting up a notification, go to the Slack notifications section and find the notification you want to manage.
Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the right side of the notification row.
Select one of the available actions:
Edit — update the notification settings.
Test — send a test notification to verify the setup.
