BambooHR + Slack

Post new BambooHR time off requests as Slack direct messages

When an employee submits a new time off request, you'll want to know about it so that you can review and approve it as quickly as possible. With this Zap, when new time off requests are added to BambooHR, Zapier will send new a direct message in Slack so you can review time off requests faster.

When this happens...
