As more companies go remote, it’s become increasingly important to help team members and managers keep track of when their colleagues are on leave. This way, they’re not assigning or waiting on important work from an employee that isn’t there to do it.

Take a high-priority Jira issue, for example. If assigned to an employee that is out of office, it can lead to urgent issues not being worked on, and potentially sitting unnoticed for days.

With this Recipe, you can ensure that important work doesn’t fall through the cracks. When a Jira issue is assigned to an employee who is out on leave, Rippling will send a notification automatically to the assignee’s manager, alerting them to the issue so it can be triaged and rerouted as necessary.

Do you use a different issue tracking tool? As with all of our workflow Recipes, you can customise this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the actions should be, who it should go to and more.
