Connect Sia to Microsoft Teams

For employees and managers

Sia can be added to Microsoft Teams in a few clicks so you can chat with your HR assistant directly where you work. Once the app is added and connected to your Simployer One account, you can ask questions, complete HR tasks, and receive notifications inside Teams.

How to connect to Sia in Microsoft Teams

1. Open Microsoft Teams and click Apps in the left-hand menu

2. Search for Sia
   
   

   
   

3. Click Add to add the app to Teams

4. After the app is added, click Open to start a chat with Sia
   
   

   
   

5. You will see a welcome message from Sia. Click Login to connect your Simployer One account.

6. You will be redirected to your browser to log in to Simployer One and set up the connection.

   
   
   

7. When the login is complete, return to Microsoft Teams. Sia is now ready to use.

Note: If you are asked to log in again later, it usually means your Simployer One session has expired. Logging in again will re-authenticate your account.

Once connected, try these prompts to get started:

• “help”

• “How many vacation days do I have left this year”

• “Show me my vacation balance”
