Slack Shortcut: Personal PTO Balance & Policy Lookup
Gives employees a Slack slash command that returns their current PTO balance from your HR system plus the relevant accrual policy from the handbook, in a private ephemeral reply.

What it does
Employees run a `/pto` slash command in Slack and get a private answer combining two things: their live PTO balance pulled from the HR records table and the matching accrual or carryover policy from the Notion handbook. The reply is ephemeral, so balances stay private to the person who asked.
When to use it
Use this when employees keep DMing People Ops to ask how much leave they have left, or when balance questions and policy questions arrive together and you want a single answer to both.
How it works
- 1An employee invokes the `/pto` slash command, firing the trigger with their Slack user ID.
- 2The flow looks up that employee's record and current balance in the Airtable HR base.
- 3A logic step matches their leave type to the correct accrual rule.
- 4An LLM step composes a clear, personalized summary of balance plus the applicable policy text.
- 5The bot sends an ephemeral Slack reply visible only to the requesting employee, with a link to the full policy.
