Slack Integration

Slack is a cloud-based collaboration tool that facilitates communication and teamwork within organizations. It can be used to send instant messages, send files, and make calls, but also comes with many useful integrations that can streamline your working day.

You can integrate flair with Slack to avoid switching between apps when carrying out simple HR tasks. Here’s how you can use flair’s Slack integration for absence requests.

First, open the Apps page in Slack and search for the flair app. If you can’t find flair in the list of apps for your workspace, you will need to install flair from the Slack App Directory. Once you’ve successfully enabled the flair app for your Slack workspace, you will see the app Home screen. You can view your upcoming absences and check which of your colleagues are absent on the Home screen of the flair app in Slack.

If you want to take some time off, click the Request Absence button. Choose the type of absence you want to request, select a start date and end date, and leave an optional comment for the person who reviews your absence requests. You can use the Start Period and End Period options to request half-day absences. Once finished, click Submit to send the request.

If you are responsible for approving absences, you will receive a notification in Slack when someone makes a request. You can approve or decline these requests without having to leave Slack – everything will be synced with the Employee Hub.
