Once the parameters are set, employees can start using the workflow template.

Sumbit a leave request

Fill in the required fields: Absence type, Start date, and End date. You can also provide a short description in the Reason for leave section if needed.

The employee involved in the process of approval will receive your submission immediately.

Track the request status

You’ll receive a notification each time your request is approved or denied. The request status is also visible in your Feed.

To find all requests you’ve sent:

1. Go to Automation in the left menu.
2. Open the Workflows tab.
3. Select Started by me in the filter.

Once all required approvals are received, the request is sent to the final approver. When the process is complete, the workflow status will show as Leave approved and processed.

All approved leaves are automatically added to the Absence chart.
