Integrate with Slack
Integrate RazorpayX Payroll with Slack for quick actions.
Many organisations that use Payroll also use workspace tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams. Some common actions taken by the employee and the admin require them to log in to the Dashboard which may be time-consuming.
The Payroll Slack App brings the functionality of Payroll within Slack. Your team no longer has to login repeatedly to perform routine payroll activities or leave update tasks.
In your Slack workspace, all you need to do is to type in any of the following controls shortcuts in a dedicated channel. The first version of the app enables the following features from within Slack:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/apply-leave | Employees can apply for leaves and get notified of their leave status; Admins and Managers can approve/reject leaves. |
/on-leave | Employees and the team can check their team members who are on leave for the next 5 days. |
/leave-balance | Employees can check their leave balance instantly. |
/reimburse | Employees can apply for reimbursements and get notified of the status; Admins and Managers can approve/reject reimbursements. |
/payslip | Employees can view their payslips. |
/holiday | Employees get quick access to the organization’s upcoming holiday list. |
/check-in and /check-out | Employees can check in and check out for attendance. |
