Attendance, leave, and team management in Microsoft Teams
The Tickin bot for Microsoft Teams mirrors the Slack experience command for command. Employees clock in, take breaks, request leave, and check their balance from a chat message, and managers approve requests, look up their team, and receive scheduled reports, all through the same /hellorimo commands, rendered as Teams Adaptive Cards.
Your team starts and ends their day right inside Teams. Employees clock in with /hellorimo start and out with /hellorimo end, take a break with /hellorimo break, and request leave with /hellorimo leave, all from a chat message that flows straight into their timesheet. They can check their balance with /hellorimo balance, see today's attendance with /hellorimo today, view their schedule, and open their profile with /hellorimo me. A live feed of clock-ins and clock-outs can also post to a Teams channel, giving managers an at-a-glance view of who is on shift.
Time-off requests and attendance corrections happen where the conversation already is. Managers use /hellorimo approvals and /hellorimo corrections to see pending items as Adaptive Cards with Approve, Reject, and View Details buttons, and the decision syncs back to Tickin instantly through the same approval flow as the web app. /hellorimo team today shows who is working, late, on leave, or absent, /hellorimo dashboard adds a needs-attention rollup, and /hellorimo emp looks up any report's balance, attendance, profile, or history through a searchable card, so nobody types employee IDs.
Tickin posts late-arrival and early-departure alerts to managers in Teams so issues get caught early, and each manager controls what reaches them with /hellorimo notifications. With /hellorimo report subscribe, anyone can receive a daily, weekly, or monthly attendance report as a Teams message, scoped to their role and gated by their notification preferences. You choose whether alerts and reports land in Slack or Teams depending on which workspace your team relies on, and Tickin routes them accordingly.
The Microsoft Teams integration is configured per tenant using your own Azure Bot, giving you control over how Tickin connects to your Teams environment, and it is available on the Scale tier. Once your Azure Bot is registered and pointed at Tickin, your team gets the full command set: clocking in, breaks, leave, balances, approvals, corrections, team dashboards, and scheduled reports, all inside Teams, with the same role-based permissions as Slack.
