/out-of-officeRocket.Chat App: you'll also hear about this one in the Holidays and Vacations and Leaves section, but whenever you're off you can activate this app that creates an automatic message on your DM chat to let your coworkers know about it if they try to message you. You can activate it by sending this in any chat on open/out-of-office out <automatic message you'll leave>When you come back just write/out-of-office in.Google Calendar OOO: after the PTO has been approved, update your calendar using Google's Out Of Office feature and include the dates you plan to be away in your automated response. Note that this feature will automatically decline any meeting invitations during the time frame you select.
Turn Off Push Notifications: for some of us, push notifications and relaxation don't go well together because it's natural to feel compelled to respond when we see a message, leading to concerns during our time off. If you choose to respond during your PTO, that's okay—it's your choice! However, if you prefer to fully enjoy those days for yourself, feel free to turn off app notifications on your phone.
Sync Zoho and your Google Calendar: you can sync your Zoho and Google calendars so that your regional holidays and accepted PTO requests automatically appear in your Google Calendar as normal events (not Out of Office). Here's how: Go to Zoho People > Leave Tracker > Look to the upper right corner and click on the three dots next to the "Apply Leave" button > Select "Calendar Sync" > "Google Calendar > Authorize Zoho to access your Google Calendar by choosing your Google account > On the "Select calendar to push data" option, choose your email > Finally, click on the "Push" button to sync the calendars.
