Payhawk Administrators at your company can connect your Payhawk account to Slack, enabling the Travel AI Agent as a communication channel that employees can use to interact with the AI Agent.
Before you start
To connect Slack, you must be an administrator in both Payhawk and your Slack workspace. This ensures you have the necessary permissions to authorize the integration and manage notifications.
Once Slack is connected, the Travel AI Agent immediately starts by sending a welcome message to the employees in the linked Payhawk entity.
Users with matching email addresses in Slack and Payhawk will receive smart reminders automatically, even if they haven’t manually authenticated in Slack.
If a user's Slack email differs from their Payhawk email, they must authenticate in Slack to start communicating with the Travel AI Agent.
Connecting the AI Agent to Slack
You can connect Payhawk to Slack to manage employee trip bookings through the Travel AI Agent in the following way:
In the Payhawk web portal, go to Settings > AI Office.
Go to Travel Agent and click on Connect.
Select Slack and click on Continue. As a result, the Slack connection flow will start.
Grant permissions to share data between Payhawk and Slack by clicking on Continue.
Disconnecting from Slack
As a Payhawk administrator, you can disconnect Slack in the following way:
Go to Settings > AI Office > Travel Agent > Slack.
Click on the three-dot menu and select Disconnect.
Disconnecting Slack stops the connection for users in that Payhawk entity.
The Payhawk app will remain visible in Slack until manually removed from the Slack workspace settings.
Users will no longer be able to take actions for that entity in Slack after disconnection.
