Time off at your Slack command
Say hey to the Pause bot, your new best friend for everything leave-related.
Send requests without switching tabs or tools
To book time off on Pause directly in Slack, enter /pause in any channel or chat and click on “Apply for a leave”. The bot will tell you whether it’s approved or declined. Easy peasy.
Respond to requests the instant they’re sent
Get a Slack notification for every leave request from a team. All you need to do to respond to it is come to the Pause App chat and hit one of the two bright buttons.
Check if you have the people for your plans
Type in /pause in any channel or chat, click on “Teammates on leave”, and choose a team and duration. Et voila — you have the information you were looking for.
Ask the bot if you have the leave for your long break
Enter /pause in any channel or chat and click on “leave balance” to see how many vacation days you have left. Then take that well-deserved time off, you hard-working human.
Always know who’s on leave on any day

See public holidays coming from a mile away

Celebrate special days on the right days
Get birthday and work anniversary notifications in the channel of your choice, and on any calendar view. Small and timely gestures go a long way (and who’d say no to cake?).
