# Policy Acknowledgement in Slack

Sprinto enables staff to acknowledge policies directly in Slack, eliminating the need to log into the Employee Portal for every task. Admins can trigger acknowledgement requests from the Policies module, and employees receive Slack notifications with full review and acknowledgement capabilities. This reduces delays, ensures faster compliance, and supports teams that primarily use Slack for daily communication.

### How it Works

1. Admins publish or trigger a policy acknowledgement request in the **Policies module**.
2. Staff members receive a **Slack direct message** listing pending policy acknowledgements.
3. Employees can:
   * Open a **modal** to review the policy title, description (auto-summarised or configured in Policies), and links.
   * Download the policy as a **PDF**.
   * View the policy in the Sprinto app (optional).
   * Navigate across policies with **Next/Back** buttons and see progress indicators (e.g. “1 of 3”).
   * Acknowledge individual or bulk policies directly in Slack.
4. Once acknowledged, the status is **synced automatically** with the Employee Portal.
5. If staff attempt to acknowledge again, they’ll see the message:\
   \&#xNAN;*“You acknowledged this policy on DD/MM/YYYY”* with a link to the Sprinto app.

### Procedure

Follow these steps to use Slack for policy acknowledgement:

1. **Set up Slack integration**
   * Navigate to **Settings > Notifications** in Sprinto.
   * Connect your Slack workspace and enable Slack as a notification channel.
2. **Admin triggers acknowledgement request**
   * Open the **Policies module**.
   * Select the policies and create an acknowledgement request.
   * Notify all relevant staff.
3. **Employee reviews policies in Slack**
   * Staff receive a **Slack DM** with acknowledgement tasks.
   * Click **Review Policy** to open the modal.
   * Review title, description, and download if needed.
   * Use **Next/Back** to navigate across policies.
4. **Acknowledge policies**
   * Tick the **Acknowledge** option after reviewing all policies.
   * Submit acknowledgement directly from Slack.
   * The Employee Portal status updates in real time.
