Move Time-Off Requests from Slack into Hub Planner
When a teammate sends a clear time-off request by Slack DM, Notis can place it in Hub Planner for the normal review process.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create Vacation
Tool to create a new vacation request for a resource in Hub Planner. Supports approval workflow with configurable approvers and statuses. Use when you need to create time-off requests for team members.
Why this helps
Time-off requests in private messages are easy to overlook when they have not reached the planning system.
- Keep requests visible in the planning workflow.
- Reduce the chance of a DM being forgotten during a busy day.
- Leave approval decisions in the established request process.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hub Planner to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation instructing Notis to create a vacation request for clear time-off requests and leave approval to the configured process.
- 3Select the Slack direct message trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
- 4Test with one real request that states the resource and requested dates.
Questions about this workflow
Does this approve the vacation?
The workflow creates a request; it does not make an approval decision.
What if a DM lacks dates?
Tell Notis to skip incomplete requests and report that dates are needed.
