Steps: Set Up Time Off Notifications for Workday Everywhere

Steps: Set Up Time Off Notifications for Workday Everywhere

You can make it easier for workers and managers to manage time off by configuring actionable time off request and time off correction notifications to deliver to their Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces.
Workday Everywhere only supports approval notifications for business process approval steps, not review steps.
  • Configure the
    Request Time Off
     and
    Correct Time Off
     business processes. See Steps: Set Up Time Off Plans.
  • Set up Workday Everywhere.
  • Security:
    Workday Everywhere Administrator
     domain in the Workday Everywhere functional area.
  1. Add the
    Employee As Self
     security group to these permissions in the Time Off and Leave functional area:
    • Initiating action permissions on either the
      Absence Calendar
       or
      Request Time Off
       business process.
    • Request Time Off (REST Service) permissions on the
      Request Time Off
       business process. You must configure this REST service for whichever business process you use to enable workers to request time off.
  2. Access the
    Set Up Notifications for Workday Everywhere
     task.
    1. (Optional) To enable time off correction notifications, access the
      Business Process Notifications
       tab and add the
      Correct Time Off
       business process.
    2. (Optional) To enable time off request notifications, access the
      Workday Everywhere Notifications
       tab and select the
      Active
       check box for the
      Time Off Request
       notification definition.
  3. (Optional) Make sure users connect to Workday for Microsoft Teams or Workday for Slack.
    Workday Everywhere:
    • Can deliver time off request notifications to unconnected users, but the notifications aren't actionable and don't contain specific information until users connect.
    • Can’t deliver time off correction notifications until users connect.
