The employee directory includes profiles, configurable permissions, and a global map view. Communication tools support automated messages across channels, targeted emergency texts, analytics, and Secure Delivery. Administrators can create custom roles and set access controls from workspace-wide down to individual content. Listed integrations include Google Drive, Confluence, SharePoint, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, and Jira, among other productivity, media, and identity tools. Haystack is available on the web and through native iOS and Android apps, and lists SSO support and audience targeting.
