Remote + Slack

Send a direct message in Slack when new time off requests are made in Remote

Ensure an effective communication system within your team with this workflow. When a team member requests time off in the Remote app, a direct message is sent in Slack to inform the relevant parties. This way, you don't miss any updates and can manage leaves efficiently, ensuring seamless operation within your team. This workflow makes leave management less time-consuming and more coordinated.
