Teamplify + Slack

Connecting your Slack workspace enables Smart Virtual Standups, integrates Time Off management, enhances Team Analytics with Slack data, and makes it easier to run 360° feedback sessions. It also allows you to use Slack as a Single Sign-On provider.

Virtual Standups in Slack

Save time on meetings by running smart virtual standups directly in Slack. These standups are fully configurable and integrated with Time Off, Team Workflows, and Time Tracking:

The standup bot will never disturb people on their vacation or during a national holiday.
Standups can automatically perform Team Workflow checks—for example, reminding teammates to mark their tasks as "in progress" in Jira or alerting developers who haven't pushed their code for too long.
Standup reports include the current task each teammate is working on and how long it has been in progress, thanks to the automated Time Tracking feature.
Every team can set its own standup schedule, format, and Slack channel.

Time Off

Teamplify has a built-in time off management system that integrates seamlessly with Slack and all other Teamplify features. You can:

Set up notifications for vacations, sick days, and national holidays that are sent to your team’s Slack channel.
Enable automated bot responses in Slack when someone mentions a teammate who’s currently unavailable.
See scheduled time off in Virtual Standup reports in Slack and plan around vacations and holidays more effectively.
Request and approve time off requests without leaving Slack.
Get a more accurate view of your team’s work in Team Analytics, with time off automatically factored in.

Team Analytics

Teamplify incorporates metadata about Slack chats and huddles into Team Analytics, giving you a more complete picture of how your team is working.

The Collaboration Report shows who works most closely with whom, helping you plan and manage projects more effectively—and providing valuable insights for 360° feedback sessions.

360° Feedback Sessions

Teamplify's 360° feedback sessions work better when your Slack workspace is connected. With Slack data, Teamplify can analyze collaboration patterns within your team more accurately, leading to better automated feedback peers suggestions and richer Team Analytics reports displayed side-by-side with human feedback.

Additionally, Teamplify can send notifications in Slack about new feedback and feedback requests, improving response times and keeping you updated on the progress of the feedback session.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Sign-in with Slack is enabled by default for all new Teamplify cloud workspaces. To configure Single Sign-On providers for your workspace, click your workspace name in the main menu, select Settings, and then choose Sign-in options.

If you're using Teamplify on-premises, you'll need to connect a Slack integration first. Once connected, you can select Slack as your Single Sign-On provider.

Multiple chat workspaces

With any Teamplify plan, you can connect as many integrations as you need. If you use multiple Slack workspaces, or use Slack alongside other chat platforms like Mattermost, you can connect them all to Teamplify and access its full range of features across every connected chat.

Data being analyzed

Messages: channel, thread, timestamp, sender, mentions of issues from any task tracker connected to Teamplify in the message text
Huddles: the channel in which huddles take place, participants, time when people join and leave the huddle

Please note that Teamplify only analyzes data from channels where it has been explicitly enabled, which requires two conditions:

The Teamplify bot must be added to the channel.
Syncing of this channel must be enabled in the Slack integration settings in Teamplify.

Teamplify does not have access to direct messages in Slack and cannot analyze conversations within them.

How to connect Slack to Teamplify

In your Teamplify workspace settings, go to Integrations and select the Slack integration. Here's a quick link:
Connect Slack
Follow the instructions on the screen. You'll be redirected to Slack to authorize Teamplify to access your account.
Teamplify will fetch the list of public channels from your Slack workspace and display it on the integration page. Select the channels you want to sync.
To enable Teamplify in private channels, you’ll need to add the Teamplify bot manually. Open the desired channel in the Slack app and invite the bot by posting: /invite @teamplify
On the Slack integration page, click Accounts and link your teammates' Slack accounts with their Teamplify profiles. This step allows Teamplify to recognize them in Slack, which is essential for all Slack-related features to function properly. Alternatively, each team member can complete this setup directly in their own Teamplify profile.

Slack Commands

/invite @teamplify - add the Teamplify bot to the channel.
/remove @teamplify - remove the Teamplify bot from the channel.
hey teamplify - check if the Teamplify bot is present in the channel.
/teamplify status - set your availability status, such as vacation, sick leave, business trip, etc.

Uninstall

To disconnect your Slack workspace from Teamplify, go to your Teamplify workspace Settings > Integrations, select the Slack integration, and click Disconnect. All the data that Teamplify has collected from your Slack workspace will be automatically deleted within 48 hours.
