Stay on top of important updates by automatically announcing key information from SenseHR through Slack notifications.

Updated this week

Introduction

Our Slack Service Connector uses Slack's App framework to create a custom chatbot that posts messages as though it were a user. This integration allows you to build workflows that send real-time notifications with key information from SenseHR, such as important dates and updates.

By automating notifications about new starters, employee birthdays, and other key events, this integration ensures your team stays informed and engaged, facilitating seamless communication within your workspace.

New Slack apps can be added via the following link:
