Configuring Slack journey actions

Using journeys, HR, IT, and other teams can maintain a checklist of tasks, communication, and automated actions around key employee moments like onboarding, offboarding, promotions, learning, or compliance in one place.

When configuring a journey like onboarding, offboarding, or compliance, you can set up Slack actions to automatically perform these operations instead of having to note them down on your to-do list and perform them yourself every time. For example, you could set up an onboarding journey to notify the payroll team to add the new hire, the manager to assign them a buddy, and so on.

Slack journey actions

When you connect Slack and Atomicwork, you can set up four types of automated actions in a journey:

• Send a Slack DM

• Post to a Slack channel

• Create a Slack channel

• Add a user to a Slack channel

Note: To add Slack actions to a journey, you must connect Slack to Atomicwork

Send a Slack DM

To set up an automated action that sends a Slack DM, you need to specify the recipients, the message, when it should be sent, and whether it needs to be triggered by someone. For example, in an onboarding journey, you might want to notify the manager the day before a new hire joins of this event. You can add a Slack DM action with the manager as the recipient and a note.
