Setting up the Collage app for Slack

This article will explain how to set up and use the Collage app for Slack. Collage offers an integration for Slack that lets your managers and employees approve and request time off directly from Slack.

To set up the integration, go to Company Settings, and scroll to the bottom of the page to the Integrations panel, and click Slack:

On the next page, click the Add To Slack button and follow the steps on screen to add the app to your workspace:

Once you've added the Collage app for Slack to your workspace, you will receive a message letting you know how to use the app:

To request time off through Slack, go to the Home in the Collage Slack app tab and click the Submit New Time Off Request button:

You will be prompted to select your time off type, start date and end date, as well as, add any notes before sending the request to be approved:

Note: if you would like to book custom hours, or if you are a manager needing to delegate time off approval for when you are on vacation, you will need to request time off directly from the Collage platform.

If your organization has the Slack app enabled you will receive a Slack notification anytime an employee submits a time off request. You will also continue to receive these requests via email.

You will be able to view your 10 most recent time off requests via the Home tab in the Slack app.

The Home tab will also show who is off today:

Admins can adjust the visibility settings for People Off Today via Company Settings. Head to Company Settings > Slack > Visibility Preferences. This will open the Visibility Preferences page where you adjust the visibility settng for several areas within the Collage platform.
