Run attendance, leave, and your whole team from Slack
Tickin turns Slack into a full HR command center. Employees clock in, take breaks, request leave, and check their balance without leaving the channel. Managers approve leave and attendance corrections, look up their team, and get scheduled reports, all through one /tickin command that respects each person's role.
Tickin is a single Slack marketplace app you install with one click. Just Add to Slack and authorize with OAuth. There are no webhooks, API tokens, or per-channel configuration to wire up by hand, so your workspace is connected in minutes. Type /tickin on its own to open a role-aware home with quick-action buttons, or /tickin help to see every command available to you.
Everything runs through one command. From Slack, employees can clock in with /tickin start and out with /tickin end, start or end a break with /tickin break, and request leave with /tickin leave, which opens a short form. They can check their leave balance with /tickin balance, see today's attendance with /tickin today, view their schedule with /tickin schedule, open their profile with /tickin me, and review recent attendance history, all without opening a browser. The same records sync back to Tickin, so timesheets and balances stay accurate.
Team leads get a live view of their people without chasing anyone. /tickin team today shows who is working, on break, late, on leave, or not checked in; /tickin dashboard adds pending approvals and a needs-attention list. /tickin emp lets a manager look up a specific report's balance, attendance, profile, or history through a searchable picker, so no one types employee IDs. /tickin approvals and /tickin corrections show pending leave and attendance corrections with Approve, Reject, and View Details buttons right in Slack, and every decision is written to the audit log.
Tickin sends late-arrival and early-departure alerts to managers in Slack so issues can be handled early in the day, and channel notifications keep the team in the loop with clock-in and clock-out announcements, public holidays, and the daily Leave and WFH report. Each manager controls what reaches them with /tickin notifications, toggling categories like late arrivals, leave requests, and attendance corrections on or off.
With /tickin report subscribe, anyone can have a daily, weekly, or monthly attendance report delivered straight to their Slack DMs, scoped to their role: your own summary as an employee, your team as a manager, or the whole workspace as an admin. Reports respect notification preferences, so turning scheduled reports off stops delivery. Run one on demand any time with /tickin report today, week, or month.
Every command checks the authenticated Slack user against their Tickin role on the server, never trusting anything from the chat message. Employees only ever see their own data. Team leads see themselves and the people who report to them. System admins can search and report across the whole workspace with /tickin workspace, /tickin directory, and /tickin search. A team lead can never look up someone outside their team, even in search results.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I connect Tickin to Slack?
- Install the Tickin app from the Slack marketplace with one click and authorize it using OAuth. There are no tokens or webhooks to set up manually.
- What can employees do with the /tickin command?
- From Slack, employees can clock in and out, take breaks, request leave, check their leave balance, view today's attendance, see their schedule, open their profile, and review recent attendance history, all through /tickin.
- Can managers approve leave and attendance corrections from Slack?
- Yes. /tickin approvals and /tickin corrections list pending items with Approve, Reject, and View Details buttons directly in Slack, and every decision is recorded in the audit log using the same approval flow as the web app.
- Are scheduled reports available in Slack?
- Yes. Use /tickin report subscribe to receive a daily, weekly, or monthly report in your Slack DMs, scoped to your role. Scheduled reports respect your notification preferences, so you can turn them off any time.
- How are permissions enforced in Slack?
- Every command validates the Slack user against their Tickin role on the server. Employees see only their own data, team leads see their direct reports, and admins can access the whole workspace. A team lead can never see employees outside their team.
- Can I control which notifications I get?
- Yes. Use /tickin notifications to toggle categories such as late arrivals, early departures, leave requests, and attendance corrections on or off. If you disable a category, Tickin stops sending you those chat messages.
