Automate Employee Expense Approvals with Slack and Giddh

Introduction

Speed up employee reimbursements by moving approvals out of email and into Slack—then store approved expenses directly in your accounting system. ✅

Trigger Event

A new employee expense submission is received via a Tally form.

Actions

• The manager gets a Slack message with Approve/Reject buttons, along with the expense details.
• If approved:
  • The expense is created in Giddh so it’s ready for accounting and payout.
  • Finance is notified in Slack with the expense summary and a link/reference.
  • The employee is informed that their expense is approved.
• If rejected:
  • The employee receives a Slack message with the rejection status (and reason if provided), so they can correct and resubmit.

Benefits

• ✔️ Faster approvals right inside Slack—no email back-and-forth

• ✔️ Fewer data entry errors by saving approved expenses directly in Giddh

• ✔️ Real-time updates to finance and employees for quicker reimbursements

• ✔️ Clear audit trail from form submission ➜ approval decision ➜ accounting entry
