As a remote team, Slack<\/a>, the messaging app, is a key part of our daily life here at Resource Guru. As our central communications hub we use Slack to discuss work, share photos, and keep track of notifications from tools like Trello.<\/p>\n

We plan to release an official Resource Guru – Slack integration in the future, but in the meantime I wanted to show you how you can combine Resource Guru\u2019s leave management<\/a> functionality with our new Zapier integration to send sick leave booking notifications directly to Slack.<\/p>\n

The Zap will send a notification to a Slack channel when a new “Sick Leave” time off booking is created. This gives us a quick way to inform the the team when we are going to be short a member, and gives us the opportunity to make any booking adjustments necessary to keep our projects in line.<\/p>\n

\"Example<\/p>\n

Note: You will need to be on a paid Zapier plan to set a multi-step Zap live.<\/em><\/p>\n

This multi-step Zap will be a 3 part process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Setup Resource Guru\u2019s \u201cNew or Updated Time Off Trigger\u201d in Zapier to capture time off booking data.<\/li>\n
  2. Use Zapier\u2019s \u201cFilters\u201d app to check that the booking\u2019s time off type is “Sick Leave”.<\/li>\n
  3. Post the sick leave booking notification to our Slack channel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
