Slack PTO Balance Concierge
Answers employees' PTO and vacation-balance questions in Slack by looking up their accrual record in the HRIS Postgres.

What it does
Employees ask things like "how much PTO do I have left?" in a dedicated Slack channel or via DM, and the bot replies in seconds with their exact balance, accrued, used, and pending days — no HR ticket required.
When to use it
Run this when your HR team is buried in repetitive balance-check pings and your PTO data already lives in an HRIS-backed Postgres table. It deflects the most common, lowest-value HR questions while keeping each answer private to the person who asked.
How it works
- 1A message in the `#hr-help` channel (or a DM) triggers the flow with the Slack user ID and question text.
- 2An OpenAI classification step confirms the intent is a PTO-balance question and extracts the time frame requested.
- 3The flow resolves the Slack user ID to an employee record and queries the HRIS Postgres for accrued, used, and pending PTO.
- 4OpenAI composes a clear, friendly summary using only the returned numbers, never inventing values.
- 5The bot posts the answer back as an ephemeral Slack reply visible only to the asker.
