Setting time off to skip check-ins
Time off tells Dailybot you are away so it does not expect check-in answers for those dates.
Set your time-off dates
- Sign in at app.dailybot.com.
- Open your profile or personal settings (sometimes under Account or My settings).
- Find Time off, Out of office, or Vacation.
- Choose a start and end date (inclusive of days you will skip).
- Save. Some workspaces sync holidays from a central calendar; if you see that, your admin may control org-wide blackouts separately.
Use timezone-aware dates if the form asks for them so partial days match where you actually work. Extend the range by one day if you return mid-week and still want the first day back excluded from reminders.
What happens during time off
Dailybot skips sending you that check-in (or marks you exempt) for days inside the range. You will not get nags for rounds that fall entirely within time off. If a round already started before you added time off, finish or ignore it per your team’s rules.
Partial overlap: a check-in that spans your return day may still ping you for the portion after time off ends; update dates early when plans change.
Reports for managers usually show who is on time off so they do not chase you for missing answers.
Manager view: who is on time off
- Open Check-ins as a manager.
- Use the team or participation view for the relevant check-in.
- Look for time off, OOO, or away indicators next to members.
That view helps explain gaps without assuming someone forgot. You can still @mention someone for emergencies; time off in Dailybot is informational for check-ins, not a full calendar replacement.
