WorkComposer for Slack
Keep your team's hours visible where you already work. WorkComposer sends daily and weekly work-time summaries, idle-time alerts, task assignments, and manual-time approvals straight to Slack as direct messages — powered by Block Kit.
Connects securely with OAuth · Direct messages to individuals, never channel spam
Notifications
What you'll get in Slack
WorkComposer delivers each notification type as a direct message to the right person. Admins choose which notification types are turned on for the workspace.
- Daily & weekly summaries
A tidy recap of hours worked vs. required, break time, and activity score — delivered each day and each week to every team member.
- Idle-time alerts
When someone goes over their idle-time limit, they and their manager get a clear alert with the numbers behind it.
- Team below-target summary
Admins get a daily and weekly digest highlighting the members who fell below their target hours or activity.
- Task assignments
When a task is assigned to someone, they get a Slack DM with the task, project, priority, and due date.
- Manual-time approvals
Approvers receive manual-time requests with Approve and Reject buttons right in Slack; the requester is notified of the decision.
- Project updates
People are notified when they're added to a project, so nobody misses a new assignment.
From tracked time to a message you'll actually read
WorkComposer tracks work time automatically on the desktop app and turns it into clear reports — worked vs. required hours, activity score, and idle time. The Slack integration surfaces the moments that matter as concise Block Kit messages, each linking back to the full report in WorkComposer.
- Approve or reject manual-time requests without leaving Slack.
- Get a heads-up the moment idle time runs over your limit.
- Managers see a daily summary of anyone below target.
