Post emailed messages to Slack channel
How this automation works
Post an employee's BambooHR profile to Slack for quick team visibility. When an iOS Shortcuts automation starts and passes a work email, the Applet queries BambooHR for that employee's details and posts them to the Slack channel you select. It's useful for managers, HR, or on-call teams who need immediate context—name, job title, department and hire date—in Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
