[Communication](https://guide.sprout.ph/hubstaff?hsLang=en#communication) # Hubstaff Slack Integration Setup If you use Slack for your team messages, you can connect it to Hubstaff so you can get notifications when your team starts and stops tracking time, as well as when they have completed a to-do/task. Below, we will show you how to add Slack to your Hubstaff account so you can enable these notifications. #### Setting up the Slack integration   Step 1 Navigate to **Settings** \> **Integrations** on the sidebar menu. ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-34-02-8064-AM.png?width=258&height=257&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-34-02-8064-AM.png) Step 2 Under the **Communication** section, select **Slack**. ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-34-20-1730-AM.png?width=214&height=269&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-34-20-1730-AM.png) Step 3 **Allow** Hubstaff to access your Slack integration. ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-34-54-1175-AM.png?width=363&height=372&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-34-54-1175-AM.png) Step 4 Select the **Slack channels** where you’d like the notifications to appear. You can also use @username to add direct messages to specific Slack users. ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-35-19-2521-AM.png?width=473&height=176&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-35-19-2521-AM.png) Note:  Only channels available to the user who authenticated the integration will appear as available on the channel list. Users on the Slack integration list must be added to the channel where notifications appear. Step 5 Configure the **Starts/stops timer** settings for your team. The **Default** setting applies to the entire organization, you can also change individual settings so you can be notified via Slack when specific users start and stop the timer. ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-35-58-3469-AM.png?width=470&height=235&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-35-58-3469-AM.png) Step 6 Configure the **Completed To-do/Task** settings for your team. The **Default** setting applies to the entire organization, you can also change individual settings so you can be notified via Slack when specific users mark a project as completed. ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-36-42-5879-AM.png?width=604&height=297&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-36-42-5879-AM.png) Step 7 Once set, you’ll receive notifications for both actions on Slack as shown here: ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-37-02-1998-AM.png?width=406&height=126&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-37-02-1998-AM.png) #### Giving the Hubstaff bot access to private channels By default, Hubstaff doesn’t have access to private channels on Slack. In order to send notifications to private channels, please invite the Hubstaff bot as a member of the specific channel. ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-38-13-3128-AM.png?width=580&height=181&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-38-13-3128-AM.png) Once added, you’ll receive a notification that the bot has been added. ![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-38-32-6279-AM.png?width=333&height=71&name=image-png-Dec-30-2025-03-38-32-6279-AM.png) **Important**: Our Slack integration can currently only send notifications when your team starts and stops tracking time, as well as when they have completed a to-do/task. It is not capable of other types of notifications currently. *Want real-time responses?
