In the modern digital workplace, communication flows fastest in chat. Platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams have become the central nervous systems for many organizations, the primary place where teams collaborate, share information, and make decisions. For any other workplace technology to be truly effective, it must meet employees where they are. Integrating your workplace platform with these chat tools is therefore essential. This synergy transforms routine workplace tasks into simple, conversational commands and delivers timely notifications in the one place employees are guaranteed to see them. A seamless

is key to driving adoption and maximizing the value of your office technology stack.

Bringing Workplace Actions into the Conversation

Instead of forcing employees to leave their primary communication hub to perform a workplace task, integration brings the task into the conversation. With a properly integrated system, an employee can perform powerful actions directly within Slack or Teams. Using simple slash commands, they can book a meeting room, search for an available desk, or register an upcoming visitor without ever switching applications. This conversational interface is intuitive, fast, and dramatically lowers the barrier to using the workplace platform’s features, leading to higher engagement and better data.

Notifications Where They’ll Be Seen

Email inboxes are overflowing, and important notifications can easily get buried. A workplace platform generates many timely alerts: a visitor has arrived, a package has been delivered, a meeting is about to start. When these notifications are delivered as direct messages in Slack or Teams, they are far more likely to be seen and acted upon immediately. A host can receive a Slack message the second their guest checks in and can respond instantly. This real-time awareness is crucial for a smooth and responsive workplace, improving hospitality and ensuring no important alert is missed.

Fostering Community and Visibility

Chat integration can also enhance the social and community aspects of the workplace. A dedicated channel can be set up to announce who is working from the office each day, helping to foster a sense of presence and encouraging colleagues to connect. Automated daily or weekly summaries of workplace analytics can be posted to a channel for facilities managers, providing them with key insights without having to log into a separate dashboard. By embedding workplace data and actions into the flow of daily communication, the platform becomes a more visible and integral part of the company culture, helping to create a more connected and informed workforce.
