mIcrosoft Shifts - enable time off requests without notifications

[Simon_uk1966]

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

Sf1 @ By configuring Shifts to allow time off requests without notifications, employees can submit their requests without triggering alerts to their managers or colleagues. This can be particularly useful for sensitive or personal reasons for taking time off. Additionally, it provides employees with more autonomy and flexibility in managing their schedules while still adhering to company policies and procedures.
