The notification configuration UI might not be visually polished but will function as expected.

Notification Schedule​

After successfully configuring the notification, it will be triggered daily at the set time. You can configure:

  • The time when notifications are sent
  • The type of notifications to receive
  • The specific Slack channel to receive notifications in

Absence Notifications in Slack​

You can configure Slack to receive notifications about absence requests:

  1. Follow the steps above to access Slack Channels via the App Launcher
  2. Select the channel where you want absence notifications
  3. Create a new notification and select Absence as the notification type
  4. Configure the schedule and time for absence notifications

Once configured, absence notifications will appear in the selected Slack channel whenever an absence request is submitted, approved, or requires action.

Troubleshooting​

If notifications are not appearing in Slack:

  • Ensure Slack is correctly connected to your Salesforce org
  • Verify that your channel permissions allow notifications
  • Check that the notification schedule is correctly configured
  • Confirm that the notification type is enabled for your channel

Make sure your Slack integration is properly configured before setting up these notifications.
