Leave requests with one-tap approval

Employees apply on a short form, the manager approves or rejects in one tap on Slack or email, and the leave register and team calendar update themselves.

Teams of 10 to 200 that track leave in WhatsApp messages and a spreadsheet.

How it runs · 6 steps

Starts whenAn employee submits the leave form

  1. Step 1, Form: Leave request submitted. Passes on: Name, dates, leave type, reason.
  2. Step 2, Google Sheets: Checks the leave balance. Passes on: Days left for that leave type.
  3. Step 3, Slack: Asks the manager to approve. Passes on: Buttons: approve · reject.
  4. Step 4, Google Sheets: Updates the leave register. Passes on: Dates, type, approved by, new balance.
  5. Step 5, Google Calendar: Adds it to the team calendar. Passes on: Event: who is away, which days.
  6. Step 6, Gmail: Tells the employee the answer. Passes on: Email: approved or not, with balance.
  7. Result: Every leave recorded, answered and on the calendar.

Before and after.

Before · by hand

Leave is asked for on WhatsApp, approved in passing and recorded later, if at all. Balances are argued about at year end.

After · once it runs

Every request has a record, an answer and an updated balance, and the calendar shows who is away. Typically saves HR 2–4 hours a month of reconciling leave.

Time savings are typical figures for the size of business described, not a promise. Yours depend on your volumes.

What you get

  • The workflow, built and running in your own n8n account
  • Setup: we connect it to your accounts and switch it on
  • A test run with your own data before handover
  • A short written guide: what it does, how to pause it, what to check
  • 30 days of fixes after handover

What you provide

  • Your leave policy and current balances
  • A Slack workspace, or the managers' email addresses
  • A Google account for the form, sheet and calendar
  • Somewhere for n8n to run: an n8n Cloud plan, or your own server (we can install n8n on it)

How we build it

    You order

    Send the form with this automation named. We reply within one working day with what we need from you and how to pay.

  2. 02

    We connect your accounts

    You give us access to the apps under ‘What you provide’. We build the workflow in your n8n account and connect each app.

    You get the written guide and it keeps running. Typically 4 working days from access to handover, then 30 days of fixes.

Questions buyers ask

+Is it ready to download?

No. Nothing is pre-installed. When you order, we build this workflow in your own account, connect your apps, test it with your data and hand it over, typically 4 working days after we have your access.

+What else will I pay for?

Nothing extra beyond your Google and Slack plans. n8n is free to self-host on your own server; n8n Cloud has its own monthly plans. You pay those providers directly, not us.

+Can you host it for us instead?

Yes, with the optional Care plan: ₹999 a month for one automation, or ₹1,999 for up to five or any one pack ($29 and $49 outside India). We run n8n for you, keep your app connections in n8n's encrypted credential store, fix failed runs and renew expiring connections. Cancel any time and we move the workflow into your own n8n account.

+Can you adjust it to how we work?

Small changes that keep the same flow, such as message wording, fields, timings or who gets alerted, are part of setup. Anything that adds apps or steps is quoted before we start, and bigger builds are our custom automation service.

+What happens after the 30 days?

It keeps running in your account; it does not stop if you stop working with us. Fixes or changes after the 30 days are quoted when you need them.

+Who can see our data?

The workflow runs in your own account, so your data moves between your own apps. We need access while we set it up and during the 30 days of fixes; you can remove that access whenever you like. On the Care plan it runs in n8n on our server instead: your data passes through it on its way between your apps, and your app connections are stored encrypted.

+Can it run on Make or Zapier instead?

Yes, on Make, if you already use it. Say so in the form and we confirm before you pay. Their own plan limits apply.

Want this one, or something a little different?

If this is what you need, fill in the form and we will set it up for you. If it is not quite right, we build custom automations too. Tell us what you need.

Optional · monthly

Rather not run n8n yourself? We host it and look after it.

  • We run n8n for you, so there is no n8n bill and nothing for you to install
  • Your app connections are kept in n8n's encrypted credential store
  • We are alerted when a run fails, and we fix it
  • Connections that expire are renewed before they stop working
  • One small change a month: a message, a field, a recipient
  • Cancel any time: we move the workflow into your own n8n account
