Requesting time-off using the button:

A pop-up window will show up, and you'll be asked to choose absence type, dates, and fill in other obligatory/optional fields (comment, reason, substitute).

Requesting time-off with a Slack dialog

/calamari leave

You can also:

  • Request a half day off → /calamari leave "annual leave" today am or pm

  • Request few hours → /calamari leave "annual leave" tomorrow 10:00 12:00

  • Add a comment or a reason to the request → /calamari leave "annual leave" tomorrow reason "Vacation in Poland"

  • Assign a substitute by typing his/her 'Slack display name' or email address→ /calamari leave "annual leave" tomorrow substitute "@john"

Tips:

  • If you do not know the name of the absence type, use /calamari leavetypes

  • The order of the parameters is not relevant→ /calamari leave today "sick" is equal to /calamari leave "sick" today

Examples:

  • /calamari leave today "annual leave"

  • /calamari leave "annual leave" 5/26

  • /calamari leave "annual leave" today am or pm

  • /calamari leave "annual leave" tomorrow 10:00 12:00

  • /calamari leave "annual leave" wednesday to monday

  • /calamari leave from today to friday "annual leave" comment "please approve asap"

  • /calamari leave May/7 to May/21 "annual leave"

  • /calamari leave 2016-07-01 1/2 to 2016-07-02 0.25 "annual leave" reason "i have to get rest"
