Quick answer

Go to Settings and open Notifications. There you choose how ASHR reaches you — by email, by Slack, or both — and which events notify you, like leave approved, an approval needed, a review due, announcements or helpdesk updates. Toggle each event per channel and save.

Which channels can I use?

ASHR can reach you two ways:

  • Email — messages land in your inbox.
  • Slack — messages come as a Slack notification.

You can use one or both. Slack only works if the ASHR Slack app is connected to your account.

Which events can I control?

You can toggle notifications for events such as:

  • Leave approved or rejected — the outcome of your request.
  • Approval needed — something is waiting for you to approve.
  • Review due — an appraisal task needs your attention.
  • Announcements — company-wide news.
  • Helpdesk updates — replies on your support tickets.

Each event has its own switch, per channel, so you can be very specific.

Step by step

  1. Open Notifications

    Go to Settings → Notifications.
  2. Choose channels

    Pick Email, Slack, or both.
  3. Toggle events

    Turn each event on or off, such as Approval needed or Review due.
  4. Save

    Save your choices so they take effect.

Can I turn everything off?

Not quite. Some critical notices always stay on to keep you safe and informed. These include security and account alerts.

Everyday updates are yours to control. If you feel flooded, turn off the events you do not need and keep the ones that matter.
