Cancel a time off request in Palmy

In Palmy, the BuddiesHR time-off tracker for Slack, you can cancel your own request while it's pending or approved: click 🚫 Cancel request on it in Palmy's Home tab and confirm. Admins can also cancel anyone's approved request from the web dashboard.

When an approved request is canceled, the days go back to the balance and the event is removed from the shared calendar. A Slack status Palmy already set isn't removed: the person clears it in Slack.

Cancel your own request in Slack#

1. Open Palmy's Home tab. Under 🗓️ Your Time Off, find the request and click 🚫 Cancel request. You can also click Cancel request in the DM Palmy sent when you submitted it.
2. In the Cancel request window ("Are you sure you want to cancel this leave request?"), click Confirm cancellation. Click Keep request to back out.

Only the person who asked for the time off can cancel it from Slack. Your approver is told that you canceled.

Cancel your own request on the web#

1. Open the web dashboard in Personal mode.
2. In My requests, click Cancel on the request. The button only shows on Pending and Approved requests.
3. Confirm Cancel this leave request? with Cancel request, or click Keep request to back out. You see Request cancelled.
