Connecting Payhawk to Slack for the Agent

Once the Travel AI Agent has been enabled, you can connect Payhawk to Slack to utilize the channel for managing card payments for your employees.

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.

As a Payhawk administrator, you can configure the Travel AI Agent for individual entities in the following way:

  1. In the Payhawk web portal, go to Settings > AI Office.

  2. Click on Connect.

  3. Select Slack to set up Slack as a chasing channel and click on Continue. As a result, the Slack connection flow will start.

  4. Grant permissions to share data between Payhawk and Slack by clicking on Continue.

  • Once Slack is connected, the Travel AI Agent immediately starts by sending a welcome message to the employees in the linked Payhawk entity.

  • If the Travel AI Agent is enabled for multiple Payhawk entities, you can connect them to one or multiple Slack workspaces.

  • If a user's Slack email differs from their Payhawk email, they must authenticate in Slack to start communicating with the Travel AI Agent.

Disconnecting from Slack

As a Payhawk administrator, you can disconnect Slack in the following way:

  1. Go to Settings > AI Office > Travel Agent > Slack.

  2. 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.
