Slack + Nectar Integration

Send and celebrate recognition directly inside Slack with the Nectar integration.

Bring employee recognition into the flow of work by connecting Nectar with Slack — making it effortless to celebrate wins, reinforce values, and boost engagement in real time.

Overview

The Slack + Nectar integration allows employees to send recognition, receive notifications, and celebrate milestones directly within Slack.

This integration is ideal for:

• Remote and hybrid teams using Slack daily
• Organizations looking to increase recognition visibility
• HR leaders focused on driving program adoption
• Companies that want recognition embedded into team communication

By integrating Slack with Nectar, recognition becomes part of everyday conversations — increasing participation and strengthening company culture.

How It Works

Nectar connects with Slack to enable recognition and engagement interactions inside Slack channels and direct messages.

What data syncs

The Slack integration focuses on recognition activity rather than HR data sync. It may include:

• Sending peer recognition directly from Slack
• Posting recognition messages to designated channels
• Notifying employees when they receive recognition
• Celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or company milestones
• Direct links to Nectar for reward redemption

Employee profile data continues to be managed within Nectar and/or your HRIS integration.

Authentication method

• Slack OAuth authorization
• Secure workspace installation

Interaction behavior:

• Employees use Slack commands or shortcuts to send recognition
• Recognition posts appear in selected Slack channels
• Recipients receive instant notifications
• Employees can click through to Nectar to redeem rewards or view full details

Where users interact

Employees interact with Nectar directly within Slack. Admins configure channel preferences and notification settings inside Nectar.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"Before Nectar, our turnover rate was around 25%. Now it’s less than 7%, which has made a huge difference for us in keeping our team together.”

Kelly Hayes

"Before Nectar, our wellness program participation was just over 35%. Now, we’re seeing participation rates close to 80%, which has been a game-changer for employee engagement.”

Lorelei N.
Community Engagement Director

"We used to spend up to two days each month manually recognizing employees for birthdays and anniversaries. Now, Nectar handles all of that automatically, which has been a huge time-saver.”

Hannah R.
Senior HR Director

"One of our team members said, ‘It’s the little things like getting recognized that make me feel like I’m not just a number, even when I’m working remotely.’”

Zach C.
Marketing Manager

"Even with everyone working from home, it felt like we were all still part of the same team when we saw those shout-outs come through.”

Robin C.
People and Culture Manager

"I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost-saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are.”
