Work directly from Slack and Microsoft Teams
Tickin's Chat Command Center brings HR into the tools your team already uses all day. One /hellorimo command works the same in Slack and Microsoft Teams, and adapts to who is asking: employees self-serve, managers monitor and approve, and admins run the whole workspace, without anyone opening a browser.
People handle their own attendance and leave without logging in anywhere. From chat, an employee can clock in and out, start and end breaks, request leave through a short form, check their leave balance, see today's attendance summary, view their schedule and shift, open their read-only profile, and browse recent attendance history. Typing /hellorimo on its own opens a personal home with quick-action buttons for the things they do most, so there is nothing to memorise.
Team leads see their people at a glance and act without switching tools. A team dashboard shows who is working, on break, late, leaving early, on leave, or not checked in, plus a needs-attention list. Managers look up any direct report's balance, attendance, profile, or history through a searchable picker, review pending leave and attendance corrections with Approve, Reject, and View Details buttons, and subscribe to scheduled team reports. Every approval uses the same workflow and audit log as the web app.
System admins get everything managers can do, extended across the organisation. They can view a workspace summary with headcount, who is online, late today, and connected integrations, search every employee, browse the full directory, generate company-wide attendance reports, and receive scheduled workspace reports. Organization insights surface trends like frequent lateness and average overtime, all from the same /hellorimo command.
The Chat Command Center is genuinely interactive. Leave requests open a form, approvals and corrections carry real Approve, Reject, and View Details buttons, employee lookups use searchable pickers so nobody types IDs, and notification and report preferences are toggled with buttons. In Slack these render as Block Kit; in Microsoft Teams as Adaptive Cards. The commands and behaviour are identical, so a team on either platform gets the same experience.
Tickin sends late-arrival and early-departure alerts to managers, and auto-routes them to Slack or Teams depending on which integration is connected. Anyone can subscribe to a daily, weekly, or monthly report delivered to their chat, scoped to their role. Every alert and report respects per-user notification preferences: disable a category and Tickin stops sending it, so people stay informed without the noise.
Permissions are enforced on the server against the authenticated chat identity, never trusted from the message payload. Employees only see their own data, team leads only their direct reports, and admins the whole workspace, and search results are filtered the same way, so a manager can never surface someone outside their team. Every command runs inside your workspace's own tenant boundary.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Chat Command Center?
- It is Tickin's in-chat experience for Slack and Microsoft Teams. One /hellorimo command lets employees self-serve attendance and leave, managers monitor and approve their team, and admins run the whole workspace, without opening the web app.
- Does it work the same in Slack and Microsoft Teams?
- Yes. The commands and behaviour are identical across both platforms. Only the rendering differs: Slack uses Block Kit and Microsoft Teams uses Adaptive Cards.
- Can managers approve leave and attendance corrections from chat?
- Yes. Pending leave and attendance corrections appear with Approve, Reject, and View Details buttons, and each decision uses the same workflow and audit log as the web app.
- Are the commands permission-aware?
- Yes. Every command checks the authenticated user's role on the server. Employees see only themselves, team leads see their direct reports, and admins see the whole workspace. Search and lookups are scoped the same way.
- Can people control notifications and scheduled reports?
- Yes. Each person toggles notification categories and subscribes to daily, weekly, or monthly reports with /hellorimo notifications and /hellorimo report subscribe. Scheduled reports respect notification preferences, so disabling them stops delivery.
