## What it does

This skill handles the employee-facing Slack setup for Employee Service. It can enable `EmployeeServiceSlackEnabled`, assign `EmployeeSlackNotifications`, `ItsmPortalUelUserPermset`, and an API-Enabled permission set, then select an employee portal and set `SLACK_PREFERRED_SITE`.

The workflow starts with a Slack administrator sending the connection request. After the user confirms that step, the skill checks the connection through `headless-360`, enables the org preference, and performs supported changes one at a time. Employee Service licensing or permission is required, and an employee portal must already exist or be created separately.

Agent setup and connection status checks are also covered. Some Slack UI actions stay manual. The setup is incomplete until the Slack administrator confirms that the request was sent.

# Set Up Self Service for Employees on Slack (Employee Service / ITSM)
