Add the Slack account to an employee's profile using the** Slack** field. Once added, a button will appear in their profile under **Messaging** **apps** to chat on the native Slack app (if installed) or the Slack browser interface.

## How it works

The **Slack** field is available under the **Contacts** tab when editing an employee's profile. This field accepts either a **Slack Member ID** or a **Slack URL**, each with its own validation rules:

::::Tabs
:::Tab{title="Slack Member ID"}
The system accepts standard Member IDs (starting with "U" or for Slack Enterprise the ID starts with "W").

**Validation rules**

- Must be at least 6 characters long.
- Must NOT start with "T" (Team ID) or "D" (Direct Message ID).
- Must NOT contain commas.
- If validation fails, the error message directs the user to enter a valid ID (e.g., U01ABCDEFGH).
:::

:::Tab{title="Slack URL"}
The system accepts various valid Slack URL formats.

**Supported URL types:**

- **Deep links:** slack://user?team=...\&id=...
- **Web App links:** https\://app.slack.com/client/...
- **Universal/Profile links:** https\://workspace-name.slack.com/team/MEMBER\_ID
- **App Redirect links:** https\://slack.com/app\_redirect?channel=...

**Validation rules:**

- If the input is a URL, it must strictly match one of the supported Slack patterns above. Generic URLs (e.g., Google ) will trigger an "Invalid slack URL" error.

Once a valid ID or URL is saved, a **Message on Slack** or **Open Slack** button appears in the **Messaging apps** section of the employee detail card.

**Button behaviour:**

- *If a **Member ID** was entered*: The button uses the deeplink https\://slack.com/app\_redirect?channel=SLACK\_MEMBER\_ID.
- *If a **URL** was entered*: The button directs the user to the exact URL provided.

## Bulk updates

The **Slack** field can be updated in bulk via CSV export/import with either the Member IDs or the full URLs described above. The column header in the CSV is "Slack member ID".
