Slack PTO Request Intake and Manager Handoff
Lets employees file a PTO request in Slack conversationally, validates the dates against their remaining balance in the HRIS.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

- LogicCompare requested days vs available balance
- OutputRoute to manager or flag shortfall to employeeSlack
What it does
An employee says "I want to take Aug 4-8 off" in Slack. The bot parses the dates, checks their available balance in the HRIS, and either forwards a clean approval request to their manager or tells the employee they're short on days — before any form is filled out.
When to use it
Use this when PTO requests come in as messy Slack messages and HR or managers spend time chasing dates and double-checking balances. It standardizes intake and stops over-balance requests at the source.
How it works
- 1An employee message requesting time off triggers the flow.
- 2OpenAI extracts the requested start date, end date, and PTO type from the message.
- 3The flow queries the HRIS Postgres for the employee's remaining balance and their manager's Slack handle.
- 4A logic step compares requested days against the available balance.
- 5If sufficient, the bot posts a structured approval request to the manager; if not, it replies to the employee with the shortfall and current balance.
