This article details the steps involved with integrating Sense and Slack.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Introduction:

Our integration ensures that your team stays informed about key moments, automatically notifying them about new starters and employee birthdays.

How It Works:

The integration uses Slack’s App/Bot service to automatically send chat messages to your chosen channel. Messages are sent on the day of the event.

Setup & Requirements:

To set up the Slack integration, follow these steps:

1. Create a Slack App

• Visit Slack API and select “Create New App”.

• Choose the “From Scratch” option.

2. Customise Your App

• Under “Basic Information”, you can update the app’s name and display image (this is how messages will appear in Slack).

3. Assign Permissions

• In the app settings, go to “OAuth & Permissions” under the Features section.

• Scroll down to “Bot Token Scopes” and add the required permissions:

4. Install the App

• Scroll back up and select “Install to Your Workspace”.

• This will generate a Bot User Auth Token.

5. Enable the Integration

• Contact our team to request the integration.

• Provide us with your Bot Token and the Slack channel name where messages should be sent.

• We will enable the integration for you.
