TimeBot Reviews & Product Details

TimeBot integrates with Slack to offer automated channel-specific communication of my team's time off so that not just our internal team, but other departments within the organization can understand who may be out. Working remotely oftentimes it can be difficult to understand who is out of the office unless employees are diligent about updating their Slack statuses or viewing other team member's calendars, which let's be real, is not a realistic expectation for everyone.

Setting up the slack integration, my team, and submitting requests is a breeze compared to other time off management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If another member of the company attempts to add an employee as one of their staff, it will not inform the existing manager which forces the employee to have two required approvals before seeing an approval status of their request. This can also lead to managers not being assigned appropriately.

It would also be helpful to be able to pull reports of employee's time off requests as it truly is just a communication tool at this point and does not help management collect solid data on their team's time off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love that TimeBot is easy to setup within Slack via integrations. It makes requesting and approving time off very easy and its a visual tool in terms of easily presenting the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wishing there was a better way to build a TimeBot native love and feel, but its understandable that there is a huge Slack component to the tool given its integrated within. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is not straightforward and difficult to navigate. The integration, with Slack, adds a touch to the tool. There are areas where improvements are needed for better decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drawbacks while TimeBot provides features for handling time off requests and monitoring holidays it benefit from customization options. The capability for managing absences is poor. There is lacks of features and comprehensive support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really dislike how difficult it integrate with Slack. It is fantastic if it also integrates with applications like Outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For instance, detailed reporting on employee time off requests is lacking, making it difficult to analyze patterns and trends. The absence management feature is more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TimeBot is really helpful in tracking and managing requests and holidays in any organization. The fact that TimeBot is just straightforward with its features and is quite easy to install makes it a great app. It is highly efficient and provides an easy to use interface.

Nothing as such i disliked but maybe user interface could be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We currently use Amion contour scheduling purposes however have been implementing this free version among a specific group in our practice as a trial.

It’s extremely user friendly and easy to use and we barely had to provide additional training to those who are using it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requests are coming in individually rather than on one calendar for you to review to assess how many time if requests per day are happening

Another downside is that it’s working another app therefore does not have integration ability to any commonly used calendar apps such as google calendar or iPhone calendar so staff has to keep logging in to look at the schedule rather than sending in the final schedule to their personal calendar of choice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TimeBot app is based around a really straightforward concept and it works just great. The installation process is very fast and does not require any technical support. It has got 20 requests a month in its free version which is sufficient to test it.

I highly recommend it if you want to move away from the 'not-always-reliable' Google Sheets/Excels for keeping track of leaves in your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These are not real dislikes, although, I miss the following two features:

1) Allow for multi-level structure - be able to see the leaves of the subordinates of your subordinates. At the moment, the different teams in our organization work in silos and it would be great to have them all connected as per our internal structure. This would allow greater transparency and it would make it more practical, for instance, if one's manager is on leave himself, the manager of his manager could approve the request.

2) A reporting tool that could extract all the requests for a specific timeframe to a Google Sheet. Would come super hand for month-end close or year-end close. Ideally automated at a pre-defined cadence.

I could not find it nor get a work-around the above two points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
