SUMMARY:   Connect Vacation Tracker to Linear. Approved leave shows up in Linear, so team leads plan cycles and assign issues around who's actually available.

# Plan Every Cycle Around Who's Actually In

Your team requests and approves leave in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Workspace.
Connect Vacation Tracker to Linear, and approved leave appears where your team plans its work.

### See Absences While You Plan

Approved leave shows up in Linear, so nobody gets a cycle's worth of issues while they're on vacation.

### No More “Who's Out?” Pings

Team leads stop asking who's away next week. The answer is already in Linear.

### Leave Entered Once

Leave is requested and approved once, in Vacation Tracker, and Linear gets the update automatically.

## From Approved Leave to Your Linear Workspace

### Leads Approve Without Leaving the Conversation

- Engineering and product leads get leave requests in Slack or Microsoft Teams, alongside the rest of their day.
- Overlapping leave is shown before approval, so two people from the same squad aren't out at once.

### Absences Appear Where Work Gets Planned

- When leave is approved, a Linear issue is created with the employee, the leave type, and the dates, so the whole team can see it.
- Edits and cancellations send their own updates, so your planning view stays accurate.

> The ease with which everyone transitioned across to using Vacation Tracker without asking a million questions was impressive!
