Connecteam tracks the hours of your deskless staff from their phones. FlowMattic passes those time clock events to Slack: who started a shift, who forgot to clock out, which edits an admin approved and which requests were declined. Site managers see their crew's day in a channel, and payroll gets the exceptions without exporting a timesheet.

1. TriggerClock Out2. ActionSend Channel MessageWhen Connecteam fires Clock Out, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateThe shift manager sees each person leave with the time and job, so handovers and early departures are noticed on the day rather than on the payroll report.
Clock OutSend Channel Message
View the template A Router reads the job or location of the clock-in and posts it to that site's channel, so every site lead knows who has arrived without opening the admin app.
Clock InRouterSend Channel Message
An auto clock out usually means someone forgot to clock out. A direct message asks the employee to send their real finish time before the timesheet closes.
Auto Clock OutFind User by EmailSend Direct Message
When an admin approves a clock out outside the geo-fence, the payroll team's private channel gets the name, time and approver, so the exception is on record when hours are checked.
Admin Approved Clock Out Outside Geo Fence RequestSend Private Channel Message
Employees who ask for a missed shift to be added hear straight away in Slack that the admin said no, and can talk to their manager before payday instead of after.
Admin Declined RequestFind User by EmailSend Direct Message
Every time an admin changes a recorded shift, the owner's private channel hears who changed what. Hours that affect pay are never edited without a second person seeing it.

At the end, each Connecteam clock out posts to your managers' channel with the employee, the time and the job.
In Connects, add a Slack account that is in the managers' channel.
Start a workflow with Connecteam's Clock Out trigger and follow the trigger's instructions to link your Connecteam time clock.
Clock a test user in and out from the Connecteam app, so FlowMattic captures a real clock out.
Add Send Channel Message, pick the managers' channel and map the employee name, clock out time and job into the text.
Test the Slack step with the captured clock out, check the message reads well, and turn the workflow on.

| Shift duration | Message: hours |
A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Connecteam and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Arrivals, departures and forgotten clock outs appear in the site channel, which is where field managers already talk to their teams.
Approved edits, geo-fence exceptions and declined requests land in a private channel, so payroll has a trail when someone queries their hours.
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a crew of two hundred clocking in twice a day costs nothing extra.
Create a FlowMattic workflow with the Connecteam Clock In trigger, add Slack's Send Channel Message and choose the channel. Clock in a test user so the fields are captured, map the name, time and job into the message, and switch it on.
Yes. Put a Router after the trigger with one path per job or location, each with its own Send Channel Message. A Lookup Table can turn the job name into the channel if you have many sites.
It is a clock out Connecteam makes itself when a shift runs past your time clock's limit, usually because the employee forgot. The Auto Clock Out trigger lets you ask them for the real finish time.
Yes. Admin Delete runs when an admin removes a time entry. Send it to a private channel with Send Private Channel Message so owners or payroll see every deletion.
