Email notifications and digests

Every notification Rotaleave sends is opt-out-able, per person. Open your Account page and find the card titled “Email me when…” — flip the switches, then Save preferences.

The switches

Event emails:

• A leave request needs my approval — the approver’s workhorse.
• My leave request is approved or declined — the requester’s answer.
• My booking is changed or cancelled by a manager — you always hear when someone touches your leave.
• A booking I oversee is cancelled — for approvers who want to know.
• Reminder the day before my leave starts — the friendly nudge.
• My carried-over leave is about to expire — use it before you lose it (see carry-over).
• Time off in lieu is credited to me — when TOIL lands in your bank.
• My weekly timesheet is approved — when your hours are signed off.

Digests (summaries instead of one-email-per-event):

• Daily summary of requests awaiting my approval — one morning email covering your whole queue.
• Weekly summary of who’s off (Monday, managers) — the week ahead at a glance.
• Daily reminder of who’s off today (managers) — the day’s absences, every morning.

Switches only matter where they apply — the manager digests do nothing for someone who manages no one.

Beyond email

• Connected to Slack or Teams? Notifications can reach you there too.
• Want recurring reports rather than personal notifications — a monthly balances email, say? That’s scheduled email reports.
