Practical, step-by-step guides to get the most out of Collabin — calendar sync, webhooks, API integrations, and more.

Subscribe to your Collabin leave calendar from Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar using a secure ICS feed — set up once, stays in sync automatically.
Send leave request notifications to Slack with Collabin webhooks
A practical, end-to-end example: subscribe to leave.created and leave.status_changed webhook events, verify the HMAC signature, and post a message to Slack.
How leave approval works in Collabin: roles, team leaders, and auto-approval
Who can approve a leave request? A practical walkthrough of the Employee, HR Manager, and Admin roles, the Team Leader assignment, notifications, and per-team auto-approval.
Customize leave types in Collabin: unpaid, sick, and your own categories
Set up the leave types your organization actually uses — custom names, calendar colors, unpaid and sick flags, sort order, and what to do instead of deleting a type that is already in use.
