Send email to Manager when he needs to approve Leave

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I need to send an email to the manager of a user when the user submits a leave. However, I don't find that possibility using the workflow tool:

I need to select them by hierarchy. Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Ana Alves.

    Hi Erik,

    I followed this https://www.tomelliott.co.uk/2019/06/03/how-to-set-up-email-notifications-for-leave-requests-4-mapping-your-template-to-your-workflow/ and noticed that I was only missing one thing: I forgot to enable the sending of emails to my manager user.

    Now it's working!

    Thank you very much, anyway.

    Best regards,

    Ana Alves.

    Hi Ana,

    You are correct. I'm currently in meetings: will send you the instructions tomorrow (with some screenshots)

    Hi Erik,

    When I go one step lower I only have these options:

    None of them seems to be what my company needs. 

    Thanks.

    Best regards,

    Hi Ana

    You have to set the notification one step lower (on teh approval step).

    You are currently setting the notificaiton on the general workflow.
