BambooHR + Slack

Post new BambooHR time off requests as Slack channel messages

After someone submits a new time off request, you'll want to know about it so that you can review and approve it. Now with the help of Zapier, this work is automated for you when you turn on this automation. When new time off requests are added to BambooHR, Zapier will send new channel messages in Slack.
