Connect Sia to Slack (admin/owner)

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.

How to activate Sia for your organization

1. In Simployer One, go to Company > Slack > Sia

   
   

   
   
   

2. Click Connect Slack. You must be an Owner or Admin in Simployer One to activate the integration

3. Follow the instructions on the next page and click Allow to authorize Slack

4. Open Slack and confirm that Sia is listed under Apps
   

5. Open "Sia by Simployer" in Slack and send a test prompt such as help

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

7. Return to Slack. Sia is now ready to use. 

Note: If you are asked to click Connect now again later, it usually means your Simployer One session expired. Clicking it will re-authenticate you.
