1. Start Your Time Away Request
In any Slack channel or direct message, type:
/book time away
Slack will automatically suggest the command as you begin typing. Press Enter to open the Time Away pop-up.
Note: This will not send a message to the channel.
2. Select Your Time Away Type
A pop-up window will appear asking you to choose the type of time away you’re booking — for example, Vacation, Sick Leave, or any other available category.
Select the appropriate option and click Continue.
3. Set Your Dates
You’ll now be asked to enter:
Start date
End date
Whether the start date is a full day or a partial day
Your total days booked and remaining balance (automatically calculated)
Once everything looks correct, click Continue.
4. Add an Explanation (Optional)
You can add a note or explanation for your manager if needed. This field is optional.
5. Submit Your Request
Click Book time away to send your request.
Managers will receive a notification via email and Slack to approve the request. They can manage the booking from the web, mobile app, or directly within Slack.
