A time-off request that sits in a manager's inbox for four days costs you twice: the person cannot book the flight, and the team cannot plan the week. This automation turns every request into a routed decision with the coverage answer already attached.
What's Included
- Request record: dates, type, remaining balance, approver, and fallback approver kept together in a structured database.
- Coverage check: an AI agent reads the team calendar and flags overlapping absences before the manager decides.
- Routing: triggers send the request to the named approver and remind them when the decision is overdue.
- Write-back: an approved request updates the balance and posts to the shared team calendar.
- Escalation: requests with no decision inside your SLA move to a second approver, never to nobody.
How To Use
- Clone the HR Dashboard and add your leave types and balances.
- Name a primary and fallback approver per team.
- Set the reminder and escalation windows in actions.
- Point your request form at the record.
- Let approvals land the same day, every time.
