# Microsoft Teams: Microsoft Transactables — Signing Up / Setting Up Vacation Tracker

# Microsoft Teams: Microsoft Transactables — Signing Up / Setting Up Vacation Tracker

Sign up for Vacation Tracker through Microsoft AppSource instead of vacationtracker.io. Your subscription, invoices, and licenses live inside your Microsoft account — same place as the rest of your Microsoft billing.

## When This Path Makes Sense

Two reasons teams pick this signup path:

- Consolidated billing — invoices for Vacation Tracker show up alongside your other Microsoft subscriptions.

- Procurement workflows — many organisations require all SaaS purchases to flow through Microsoft AppSource.

Not available in Canada

This option is available in every region except Canada. Canadian companies sign up directly at app.vacationtracker.io/signup (https://app.vacationtracker.io/signup).

Already on the standard signup?

If you signed up via vacationtracker.io and want the regular Teams setup, see Microsoft Teams: Signing Up / Setting Up Vacation Tracker (https://vacationtracker.io/knowledge-base/microsoft-teams-signing-up-setting-up-vacation-tracker/) instead.

## Setup Walkthrough

### 1. Find Vacation Tracker on AppSource

Search for Vacation Tracker on Microsoft AppSource. Review the listing and click Get it Now.

### 2. Checkout

Pick the plan you want and enter the number of licenses you need to assign. Review the order summary, then click Place Order. After the order completes, click Configure Now to start account setup.

### 3. Complete Company Setup

Fill in Company and Location details. Set the Paid Time Off Quota for the Location, or pick the Unlimited Quota option. Accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then click Continue.

You'll be asked to sign in to your Microsoft account and approve the OAuth permissions Vacation Tracker needs.

### 4. Assign Purchased Licenses

You'll see a list of active Users from your Office 365 directory. Assign your purchased licenses to specific Users. For each, you can:

- Set their role to User or Admin.

- Send them a welcome message via Microsoft Teams or email.

### 5. Set Up the Bot and Tabs

Indicate whether you're an Admin within your Office 365 account. If you are, pick which Microsoft Teams team should host the Vacation Tracker bot and tabs, then click Install Bot and Tabs.

Microsoft may ask you to enable additional permissions. Once approved, you'll be redirected to your Vacation Tracker dashboard, ready to configure Leave Types, Locations, and Departments.

Not an Office 365 Admin?

If you don't have Admin rights in Office 365, the auto-install can't run. You'll need to install the bot manually instead — see How Do I Add The Vacation Tracker Bot To Microsoft Teams? (https://vacationtracker.io/knowledge-base/microsoft-teams-how-do-i-add-the-vacation-tracker-bot-to-microsoft-teams/)

## Configure Your Workspace

Once you're in the dashboard, the typical setup order is:

- Create and configure Leave Types (https://vacationtracker.io/knowledge-base/how-can-i-create-and-configure-leave-types/)

- Create Locations (https://vacationtracker.io/knowledge-base/how-do-i-create-a-location/)

- Create Departments (https://vacationtracker.io/knowledge-base/how-do-i-create-a-department-within-vacation-tracker/)
