Questions
Which plans include the Slack integration?
Slack (Beta) is included at no extra cost with every paid Passport for Teams plan. Adding points to a 1:1 from Slack needs Passport for Teams: Performance, because 1:1s are a Performance feature.
How do I check if my organisation has Slack set up?
Sign in and open Account & Settings, then Sign-in & security. The Slack card tells you whether your organisation is connected and which Slack workspace it uses. You can also type /cpd in Slack: if it opens a form, you are set up.
Do I need to connect Slack myself as an employee?
No. Once your organisation owner connects Slack, everyone in that Slack workspace can use /cpd straight away. There is nothing to install or switch on in your own account.
What if my organisation is not connected?
Only the organisation owner can connect Slack, from the organisation workspace. Ask them to connect it. It is included with every paid Passport for Teams plan.
Who can connect Slack?
The organisation owner connects Slack from the organisation workspace. One Slack workspace links to one organisation.
How does Slack know who I am?
We match your Slack email to your WorkplaceHero account or a verified linked work email. If there is no match, Slack asks you to link your work email first.
Can my manager see everything I log from Slack?
No. CPD logged from Slack goes into your own CPD log and follows your normal sharing settings. Your record stays yours if you change jobs.
What happens to points I add to a 1:1?
They appear on the shared agenda for your next 1:1 in WorkplaceHero, where both you and your manager can see them. Open actions carry forward until they are done.
Slack says it cannot find my account?
Check the email shown on the Slack card in Account & Settings matches your Slack email. If you use a different work email in Slack, accept an employer invite sent to that address while signed in, so it is linked to your account.
Something looks out of date after I use Slack?
Refresh your browser tab in WorkplaceHero and the latest entries will appear.
