Slack and HollyHR: what works today?
HollyHR does not have a one-click Slack app today. API-key users can send selected events or summaries to Slack through a small integration, with the data scope and channel chosen explicitly.
HONESTLY There is no install-from-marketplace Slack app or supported workflow builder yet.

What matters
The useful route
Read approved people and absence data through scoped API access
Keep control
Use outbound webhooks as an integration trigger where the event family is available
Know the boundary
Keep the Slack message deliberately less sensitive than the HR record
How should a small team approach this?
Start with the job, not the logo. Decide exactly which fact or event needs to move, who may see it, how errors are corrected and whether a normal export is safer than a permanent sync.

Why we label recipes differently from native integrations
A native integration has a maintained authentication flow, documented behaviour, support ownership and a tested failure path. An API recipe can still be useful, but calling the two things identical would be misleading.

Questions people ask
Is there a one-click Slack app?
There is no install-from-marketplace Slack app or supported workflow builder yet.
Can a developer connect HollyHR anyway?
Often, yes. HollyHR has documented API access and outbound webhooks, but each connection must respect scopes, organisation boundaries and the destination's handling of employee data.
Are API reads included on the Free plan?
Read access is available on every plan. Programmatic writes are separately controlled and are not presented as a casual automation shortcut for sensitive HR changes.
Proper HR, without the big-system palaver.
HollyHR is free for up to 10 active people. We're onboarding early-access teams one at a time.
