Connect Slack, CSV import, and the REST API so ESS, pulses, kudos, and org structure stay aligned in one layer.
Teams mix Slack, CSV bulk structure, and sometimes the API. Every path keeps privacy defaults, department rollups, and the same in-product scoring so dashboards stay trustworthy.
Import teams, deliver surveys, send kudos, and receive notifications, all within Slack. One-click connect for workspace admins who want rituals to live next to real work.
Import team structure, departments, and reporting lines from any spreadsheet. Bulk import at launch; bulk updates when hiring or reorganizations change the chart.
RESTful API for custom integrations. Push and pull data programmatically when off-the-shelf connectors are not enough and your stack deserves first-class automation.
Connect once so org structure stays accurate. Run ESS, mood, feedback, and goals in Pulsewise instead of parallel rosters and mismatched managers.
Authorize Slack or upload a CSV with the columns Pulsewise expects. For the API, issue credentials, limit which environments call production, and name an owner to rotate tokens.
Pulsewise maps people to departments and reporting lines so rollups and anonymity thresholds stay honest. Slack, CSV, and API updates run on your timing once rows validate.
Pulses, kudos, and forensic feedback map to real teams so leaders read trends in one dashboard. Refresh Slack or CSV once when the org shifts so the next cycle picks up context.
Most workspaces connect Slack or complete a first CSV import in a few minutes. You authorize the workspace, confirm scopes, and Pulsewise maps people, channels, and departments. Larger orgs may spend a bit longer validating reporting lines, but you are not blocked on a long services project.
Slack-backed directory data can be refreshed when your admins run a sync or when you reconnect, depending on how your workspace is configured. CSV uploads are on demand: export from your HRIS or spreadsheet, upload, and Pulsewise applies bulk updates. API consumers control cadence with their own jobs and rate limits.
The REST API is built for programmatic push and pull: people and org structure, survey-related payloads where exposed, and other supported resources your contract enables. Use it to integrate internal tools, data warehouses, or custom workflows without forcing everyone through a single UI.
Connections use industry standard OAuth for Slack where applicable, encrypted transport, and role-based access inside Pulsewise. You should still follow your own least-privilege policies for API tokens and spreadsheet files that contain employee data.
No. Slack and CSV paths are designed for people admins and operations owners who already manage tools day to day. The API is optional when you want full control or a bespoke stack. Many teams start with Slack plus CSV and add API jobs only when reporting or automation requirements grow.
Start with Slack or CSV, add API automation when you are ready. Pulsewise keeps surveys, recognition, and insights in one place so your integrations amplify culture work instead of adding busywork.
