Connect Sia to Slack

For owners and admins

Sia can be integrated with Slack to bring HR assistance, updates, and notifications directly into your organization’s workspace. As an Owner or Admin, you can activate the connection in a few steps so employees can interact with Sia in Slack. Once connected, Sia will appear under Apps in Slack and can start responding to prompts.

6. When prompted to log in, click Connect now. This redirects you to your browser to log in to Simployer One and connect the accounts

Once your organization’s Owner or Admin has activated the Slack integration, connecting to Sia is quick. After opening Sia in Slack, you will be prompted to log in and link your Simployer One account. When the connection is complete, you can chat with Sia directly in Slack.
