You can set up notifications to send to Slack or email summarizing who is out on any given day. To set up the notifications, use [intall the bundle ](https://app.charthop.com/bundles/time-off-notifications)with the action into your ChartHop account. 

To configure the notifications: 

1. [Intall the bundle ](https://app.charthop.com/bundles/time-off-notifications)
2. Add the name of the channel that you would like the messages to send to to the first action step or select a different message recipient. By default, it will send to #general. 
3. Make any modifications to the message:
   1. If you would like to only send messages for a specific department or team, you can add in a filter into the first line of the action. For example:
      `{% assign outToday=db.job.find{nextDayOff <= today and department=["people","talent"] } %}`
   2. If you would like to change the emojis for each time off type or adapt any of the text you may do so there.&#x20;
   3. If you would like to add any additional info from the time off request, you may do so using the [TimeOff](docId\:raHsIHytvR1NsKqtdfkJA) object. For example: `{{job.nextTimeOff.startDate}}`
