The bulk notification editor is available exclusively with the Essentials and Plus plans. For more information, visit our pricing page.
What this feature is best used for
- In most cases, users who are directly involved in an absence request — for example, as the requester, the assigned approver, or the assigned representative — will automatically receive the relevant notifications.
- In addition, department managers can receive regular updates about the absences of users in their department through the weekly updates notification..
- The bulk notification editor, however, is best suited for use cases where specific individuals or inboxes (e.g., members of the HR department or a centralized email address) need to receive notifications about requests made by certain users, regardless of their involvement in the request.
