mIcrosoft Shifts - enable time off requests without notifications

Hi

Is it possible to enable time-off requests but not have the notifications go to the MS team owners?  I have a MS team that contains all the staff in a department - the MS team has 8 owners but I want any time off requests to go to the resources manager on AAD not all the teams owners.  Whilst I have a power automate to handle the approvals it does not prevent the mass notification of the Teams owners.  It would be great if you could either:

 

a. Enable time off requests without notifications - and handle approvals via power automate

or better still

b. Enable time off requests and select whether notifications go to teams owners/users manager or both

 

If this is possible already can someone let me know how?

    Hi

    I think I have solved my own problem subject to testing but for anyone else out there who is interested:

    Access Teams Settings: Click on your profile picture and select Settings. or on new teams on the update and more button
    Navigate to Notifications: Find the Notifications section.
    Adjust Shifts Notifications: Ensure that notifications for Shifts, "When a time off shift is requested" is set to off. I would also set all other time off shift notification to off if you didn't want/need to see the time off requests being processed
