How do I Add my Upcoming Leave to my Personal Calendar?

Are you looking to add your scheduled leaves to your personal calendar? Now you can with our new Add to Calendar feature :)

|| Please note, we have also introduced an automated version of this feature and you can turn it on using the following steps: How Do I Connect My Personal Calendar to Vacation Tracker?

This option is useful if you want to keep track of your own scheduled leaves, as well as prevent events from being scheduled for you when you’re not in!

With a few easy steps, you can add the approved leaves instantly from your online dashboard, Slack or your Microsoft Teams app!

Let’s help you set your leaves:

For Slack:

1. Submit your leave request using the /vacation command in Slack
2. Once you receive the approval notification you will see an Add to Calendar button:

3. When you select the calendar to add the leave to, a separate window will pop up with the details of the leave

4. Here, if desired, you can make any changes to the name of the leave type and select Save

Once the changes have been saved, you should see the approved leave on your personal calendar!

For Microsoft Teams:

1. Submit your leave request using the Vacation Tracker bot in Microsoft Teams

2. Once you receive the approval notice on your online dashboard, you will see an Add to Your Calendar button within the approval card

3. Once you click this option, you will be redirected to your Outlook calendar, where you will see the leave type name, the time and days blocked off in your calendar

4. Here, if you’d like, you will have the option to change the leave type name. If all the information is correct, click on the Save button on the top, left-hand side
