Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Slack integration cost extra?

No. Slack is included free on every Peoplifi plan, including Starter.

Can we scope the bot to specific channels?

Yes. The Peoplifi Slack app only posts to channels it is explicitly invited to. It does not read messages in your workspace.

Will our employees' DMs be visible to HR?

No. Peoplifi only sends messages; it does not read employee DMs. Approval DMs go manager-to-employee via the app but are not stored in Peoplifi.
