Admin approval

In some cases, Slack administrators need to approve the Rydoo integration the first time it is installed in the Slack workspace. In that case, the Slack consent page will instead send a request to the Slack admin for approval, and you will not be connected yet. Once the Slack admin approves, repeat the same steps in Connect to Slack.

Upload your expenses

Drop your receipts into the chat with Rydoo in Slack and let Rydoo process them in a matter of seconds. You can then view the details and open them in Rydoo.

Approve or reject expenses as an approver

If you are an approver, you will immediately receive a message on Slack when you have an expense to approve. You can easily approve or reject the expense with the actions from the message.

Use Rydoo in Slackbot

Add Rydoo as an app in Slackbot to ask about your expenses, look up expense details, and approve or reject expenses in a conversation with Slackbot.

Before you start

  • Connect to Slack step can be skipped if you only want to use Rydoo from Slackbot.
  • Slackbot must be available in your Slack workspace.
  • Your Slack workspace administrator must approve the Rydoo app for Slackbot. If Rydoo is not listed in step 3, ask your Slack administrator to approve it.

Add Rydoo to Slackbot

  1. In Slack, open Slackbot from the left sidebar.
  2. In the message field, click the Apps icon (plug) and select Manage apps.
  3. Under Approved by admin, find Rydoo and click + (Connect).
  4. A window opens to confirm the Slack account you are connecting with. Click Continue to Rydoo. If asked, log in to Rydoo.
  5. Back in Slack, choose what Slackbot can do with Rydoo. For both read-only tools and write tools, select one of these:
    • Always allow: Slackbot uses the tools without asking you.
    • Needs approval: Slackbot asks you before each use. This is the default.
    • Blocked: Slackbot can't use these tools.
    • Custom: set a different option for each tool.
  6. Click Save.
In Slackbot, click the Apps icon (plug) and go to the Apps tab to find Rydoo.
After you connect Rydoo and log in, you can configure the read-only tools and write tools.
Rydoo now appears under Available apps when you click the Apps icon in Slackbot. Make sure the toggle next to Rydoo is on.
