How to track attendance in Slack (3 methods, including free)
Direct answer
Track attendance in Slack three ways: (1) manual status or emoji rituals — free but error-prone; (2) spreadsheet + reminders — cheap but high admin cost; (3) a Slack HR bot with check-in commands and CSV export — best for teams needing reliable records. StaffiX Free supports up to ten employees on Slack and LINE WORKS.

Method 1 — Manual Slack status (free)
Teams post "starting" or set emoji status. Zero cost, no install — but no timestamps for payroll, no break tracking, and managers cannot audit disputes.
Method 2 — Spreadsheet + bot reminders (low cost)
A scheduled Slack message links to Google Sheets. Better than honor system, still relies on manual entry and copy-paste to payroll.
Method 3 — Attendance bot (recommended from ~10 people)
Employees message checkin / checkout; the bot logs UTC timestamps, breaks, and exports CSV. StaffiX adds leave and daily reports in the same thread.
