Slack, Jira, Asana OAuth and signed outbound webhooks
Connect Slack, Jira, or Asana with OAuth, or POST signed JSON when activity is recorded or a timesheet changes.
Integrations can connect Slack, Jira, or Asana with OAuth, and still POST signed JSON when the agent stores activity or a timesheet is submitted, approved, or rejected. Tokens stay encrypted. Each organization only sees its own connections. The tray icon does not change.
Read /features/integrations, then the signed-in integrations tutorial. Zapier is a Catch Hook URL you paste — not a published Zapier app. The dedicated Catch Hook article is paste a Zapier Catch Hook. Ask VisibleHours “connect zapier”, “open zapier”, “webhook integrations”, “connect Slack”, or “add a webhook” opens Integrations. “How to set up zapier”, “Zapier tutorial”, or “how to add a webhook” opens the signed-in tutorial with sample Catch Hook recipes. Public site search stays on /features/integrations and will not create a hook, email your team, or run outreach.
Connect a workspace
- Sign in and open Integrations.
- Press Connect on Slack, Jira, or Asana. Finish consent. The card shows Connected.
- Access tokens stay encrypted. They are never shown on the page.
- Disconnect removes the encrypted tokens.
If client IDs are missing, Connect stays disabled — VisibleHours will not invent a workspace. This slice stores a token. It does not post to a channel, file an issue, or create a task.
Signed outbound webhooks
- Keep Catch inbox on to inspect a payload here, or paste an HTTPS Catch Hook URL from Zapier or any HTTPS automation. There is no VisibleHours listing in a Zapier marketplace.
- Choose events. Save (create). Copy the signing secret once.
- Press Send test ping. The ping includes
type: "ping"and headersX-VisibleHours-SignatureandX-VisibleHours-Timestamp. Inbox rows stay on the delivery log. HTTPS rows show the status from your endpoint. - Verify: HMAC-SHA256 of
timestamp + "." + rawBody, hex digest, prefixedv1=.
The connected-workspace summary is a VisibleHours reading of your rows, not a live model. VisibleHours does not email employees from Integrations. Site search and Ask VisibleHours will not draft outreach or run a workflow.
What this is not
- Not a hidden listener. Employees still see the tray and can pause.
- Not a live write-back into Slack, Jira, or Asana in this slice.
- Not a dump of another organization’s people or hours.
- Not an email campaign. Paste a Catch Hook if you need an automation inbox.
- Not a published Zapier app, a thousand integrations, or a sync with another tracker.
