In short

What is the Staffic Slack integration?

Staffic Slack time tracking is the Slack integration in Staffic. It posts the day's tracked hours, leave requests and budget alerts to a channel you choose, sends task, leave and payment updates to people as direct messages, and answers the /staffic command with your own hours. Time is tracked by the Staffic desktop app, and the integration is included in every plan.

How it works

How Slack time tracking works in Staffic

Staffic does the tracking; Slack is where the numbers show up.

02Pick a channelChoose a public channel and send a test message to check it arrives.
03Track time as usualPeople track time with the Staffic desktop app; nothing changes for them.
04Updates arrive in SlackThe summary posts at 23:00, alerts as they happen, and /staffic answers anytime.

Slack time tracking

Connect Slack, pick a channel, choose the updates

Install the Staffic app in your Slack workspace, pick the channel it posts to and switch each update on or off. Nobody has to open a report to know how the day went.

Staffic posts to a public channel you pick, without being invited to it. Send a test message to check, then leave the daily summary, leave requests, budget alerts and personal notifications on, or switch any of them off.

Public channels, no invite needed
Send test message before anything else
Four updates, each with its own switch

At 23:00 in your organization's time zone, Staffic posts the day: members who worked, hours worked, average activity and the top members and projects. Days with no tracked time are skipped.

Up to 5 top members and 5 top projects
The same numbers as the summary email
Open dashboard and Daily timesheet buttons

See Dashboard

A new leave request is posted to the channel and sent to each admin as a direct message, with a Review in Staffic button. When a project reaches its budget alert, the channel gets one post for that alert.

Leave requests: channel post and a DM to each admin
Budget alerts on hours or cost, once per alert
Members get their own updates as direct messages

See Leave Management

Type /staffic in any channel to see whether you're tracking and your hours today. /staffic today breaks the day down by project and /staffic week totals the week. Only you see the reply.

Control and privacy

Admins and members stay in control

Each update has its own switch, and members see only their own numbers.

Only admins connect Slack, pick the channel and disconnect it.
Each of the four updates can be switched off on its own.
Personal notifications go only to the person they are about.
/staffic replies only to the person who asked, about their own time.
People are matched to Slack by email; without a match, no DMs.
Disconnect stops the posts and the command and removes the Staffic app.

Read the Slack integration guide

Does Slack have time tracking?

Slack's Marketplace lists apps that add time tracking to Slack. Staffic works the other way round: the Staffic desktop app tracks the time, and Slack gets the daily summary, alerts and the /staffic command.

Can Slack track time?

With Staffic connected, the hours your team tracks with the Staffic desktop app show up in Slack: a team summary every night and /staffic for your own numbers at any time.

How do you track time in Slack with Staffic?

Track time with the Staffic desktop app as usual, then type /staffic status, /staffic today or /staffic week in Slack to see it. The daily team summary posts to your channel at 23:00.

Is there a time tracker that integrates with Slack?

Yes. Staffic connects to Slack in Settings > Integrations on every plan, including Free. It posts the daily summary, leave requests and budget alerts, and sends people's own updates as direct messages.

Who sees the /staffic replies?

Only the person who typed the command. Slack shows these replies to the person who ran the command only, according to Slack's developer documentation, and Staffic answers only about that person's own time.

What is in the daily team summary?

Members who worked, hours worked and average activity for the day, plus up to 5 top members and 5 top projects, with buttons to the dashboard and the daily timesheet. Days with no tracked time are skipped.

What happens if I disconnect Slack?

Staffic stops posting, /staffic stops answering and the Staffic app is removed from your workspace. You can connect it again at any time.
