Notification types
Transaction alerts
Transaction alerts
Husk posts a summary each time a corporate card is used, including merchant, amount, and card holder name. Large or unusual transactions are flagged with a warning icon.
Approval requests
Approval requests
When a team member submits an expense or requests a spending limit increase, the approver receives a direct message with Approve and Decline buttons.
Receipt reminders
Receipt reminders
If a transaction lacks a matched receipt after a configurable delay, Husk reminds the card holder via direct message to upload or forward the receipt.
Spend limit warnings
Spend limit warnings
Husk warns channel admins when a team or card approaches its configured spending limit, so you can adjust controls before a decline.
Tips for effective use
- Route high-value transaction alerts to a dedicated finance channel so they do not get lost in general chat.
- Set receipt reminder delays based on your company policy, for example 24 hours for travel expenses and 7 days for software subscriptions.
- Use approval request direct messages for managers who need to act quickly while traveling.
You can disconnect or reconfigure the Slack integration at any time from Settings > Integrations > Slack.
