Hibob is your record of who works at the company. FlowMattic turns its people events into Slack actions: a welcome post when someone joins, an onboarding channel for a new hire, a direct message to IT when someone leaves, profile updates when a job title changes. HR and people ops spend less time on messages and checklists.

Hibob and Slack workflows you can build
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 template
Welcome each Hibob joiner in the company channel
On the employee's start date, the company channel gets a welcome with their name, role and team, so colleagues can say hello on the first day.
When a new employee is created in Hibob, Slack creates an onboarding channel named after them and invites the HR partner and the manager, before the first day.
New Employee Created→Text Formatter→Create Channel→Find User by Email→Invite User To Channel
Tell IT on a leaver's last day
Employee Left fires when the termination date is reached. A message to the IT channel lists the person whose accounts and devices need to be handled.
Employee Left→Send Private Channel Message
Keep Slack job titles in step with Hibob
When an employee is updated in Hibob, the workflow finds them in Slack by email and updates their title, so the Slack profile matches the HR record.
Employe Updated→Find User by Email→Update Profile
Remind the manager to prepare for a new starter
As soon as a new employee record is created, Slack sets the hiring manager a reminder before the start date to plan the first week.
New Employee Created→Find User by Email→Add Reminder
Alert people ops when an employee is inactivated
Employee Inactivated can mean leave, a contract pause or an error. A private people-ops channel hears about it so someone checks the reason and the access rules.

Triggers and actions in this pair
A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Good to know
Employee Joined and Employee Left fire on the start and termination dates, not when the record is created. Use New Employee Created for preparation work before day one.
The trigger is spelled Employe Updated in FlowMattic. Pick it by that name when you build the profile-sync workflow.
Updating someone else's Slack profile needs extra rights in Slack. Connect with an admin account and test on one employee before switching the workflow on.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic
Hibob and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
No new starter goes unwelcomed
The welcome posts on the start date from the HR record, so it does not depend on someone remembering.
Leavers are handed to IT on time
Termination dates in Hibob become a message to IT on the right day, which keeps access reviews from slipping.
Employee data stays on your server
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so HR records pass through your server and not a third-party automation account.
Common questions
How do I post Hibob new joiners to Slack?
Connect Slack in FlowMattic, start a workflow with the Hibob Employee Joined trigger and add Send Channel Message. Map the name, title and team, test with a joiner and switch the workflow on.
Can Slack titles update when someone is promoted in Hibob?
Yes. Start from the Employe Updated trigger, find the person with Find User by Email and use Update Profile to set the new title. The connected Slack account needs the rights to edit other members' profiles.
Can IT be told when someone leaves?
Yes. The Employee Left trigger fires on the termination date. Post it to a private IT channel so accounts and devices are handled on time.
What is the difference between New Employee Created and Employee Joined?
New Employee Created fires when the record is added in Hibob, often weeks before the start. Employee Joined fires on the start date itself, which suits welcome messages.
