For teams that live in messengers, not in HR systems

A free HR bot and employee app — HR comes to the messenger and the phone

Managers approve time off with one tap in Telegram, employees start the day from a button, surveys go to the Teams channel, and PapaHR sits on the phone like an app — with notifications. Free for up to 25 employees.

Pick an event: these are the bot's own messages, and the channels it goes to by default. You change them in the «What goes where» table.

Buttons work right in Telegram: the request is approved, the day starts. Personal things — reviews, pay, requests — never go to a team channel.

Questions

Is the HR bot really free?

Yes: the Telegram bot, the Teams channel, the table «what goes where» and the app are in the free plan for companies up to 25 employees, with no time limit and no card.

What can the bot do?

It sends reminders and quick buttons: a manager approves or rejects time off, an employee starts the working day, a signer gets the code. Anything else the bot answers with a link to the PapaHR cabinet.

Is there an app in the App Store or Google Play?

No: PapaHR is installed from the browser. On iPhone — Safari, Share, Add to Home Screen; on Android — Chrome, Install app. It opens like an app and shows notifications. Sign-in is by a code from the email.

What about Slack?

The PapaHR app for Slack is being set up: when it is on, people found by email get direct messages, and the news go to a channel. Today — Telegram, Microsoft Teams, the app and email.

What goes to Microsoft Teams?

A channel connected by its webhook address gets surveys and company news. Personal things — reviews, pay, requests — never go to a team channel.

What can an employee do in the app?

See their day and ask for time off. Managers and HR see what to decide today, the team and who is in.

Sign up, send the Telegram links to the team and install PapaHR on your phone.
