A time off request manager is a secure online workspace where employees can submit, track, and manage their time off requests—such as vacation, sick leave, or personal days. It centralizes all requests and approvals, so you don’t have to juggle back-and-forth emails or spreadsheets. This helps HR and team leads stay organized while making it easy for employees to see the status of their requests.
Softr makes it easy to create a time off request manager that fits your team’s workflow. You can connect your existing data, like employee records in Airtable, Notion, or other tools, and set up a portal where team members can log in, submit requests, view their leave balances, and check approval statuses—all in one place.
You don’t need to code anything. You can start with a template or build from scratch, adjust the layout, set permissions for different roles (like HR, managers, and staff), and brand it to match your company. It’s quick to set up, easy to update, and flexible enough to adapt as your policies change.
You can build a variety of features to manage time off according to your organization’s needs. Popular options include:
\- User logins – so each employee can access their own request history and balances
\- Custom dashboards – to show pending requests, approved time off, and upcoming leaves
\- Forms – for submitting new time off requests or cancellations
\- Approval workflows – managers and HR can review and approve requests
\- Notifications – to keep everyone informed of status changes
\- Tables and lists – to display all requests, balances, or team calendars
\- Search and filters – to quickly find specific requests or employees
\- Calendar view – to visualize who is off and when
\- Permissions and roles – so HR, managers, and employees only see what’s relevant
Everything can be built using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, so you don’t need to write code. And if your company’s process changes, you can easily update your manager.
No coding is needed. You can build your time off request manager completely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from layout to user roles and approval workflows can be set up without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple teams or departments in a single time off request manager. Each user only sees the requests and information that apply to them, based on their login and role. This is useful for HR teams or managers who oversee multiple groups and need to keep requests organized and secure.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in data from other sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one. You can integrate multiple data sources into the same app and display them side by side—so your time off request manager, for example, can pull in information from both Airtable and Google Sheets at once. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so any changes in your manager or data source stay in sync automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users interact with your time off request manager. You can customize the layout, navigation, and content to fit your organization’s workflow and policies. Each page or section can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so every employee or manager only sees what’s relevant to them.
You can also set up different user roles, such as employee, manager, or HR admin—and define precisely what each role can view or edit. For example, employees can submit and view their own requests, while managers can approve or decline requests for their team. You can also create personalized dashboards based on the logged-in user.
This level of customization is especially helpful for managing multiple teams, offices, or policies in the same app. It keeps the experience simple, secure, and tailored to each user’s needs.
Yes, you can. You don’t need any existing data to start building your time off request manager with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates perfectly with your time off management workflows.
But if you already track requests or employee data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those too. You can also use the REST API connector to bring in data from other sources. Either way, you have full control over how your data is organized and displayed in your time off manager.
Yes, you can fully white-label your time off request manager in Softr. You can use your own logo, company colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the platform feel like a seamless part of your organization. All Softr branding can be removed, so your team members only see your company’s identity throughout the time off request experience.
Absolutely. Softr gives you the flexibility to control both the design and layout of your time off request manager. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to match your internal branding. You get to choose how each page is laid out, select which blocks go where, and set what different users—such as managers and employees—see when they log in.
To manage your data, you can use different types of blocks depending on your needs:
\- Table blocks – to display lists of requests, balances, or approval histories
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight employee profiles or request summaries
\- Detail View – to show information about a specific request or user
\- Forms – for submitting new time off requests
\- Calendar blocks – to visualize upcoming approved leaves
If your needs change, it’s easy to make updates right in Softr’s visual builder.
Softr is designed with security as a top priority. All information is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your time off request manager is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You control who has access to what in your app by setting up role-based permissions, managing users within your data source, setting visibility rules, and applying global restrictions to protect sensitive HR data across the entire manager.
If you connect to external sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it only displays it in real time based on your settings. You remain in total control of your team’s information and access rights.
Softr follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and continuous platform monitoring to help keep your employee data safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan allows you to publish one app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, and you can connect it to standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
If your time off request manager requires more users or advanced features, you can explore Softr’s paid plans for additional capacity and capabilities. You’ll find detailed pricing information here: <http://softr.io/pricing>
Softr is designed to help you build full-featured, user-friendly applications—like time off request managers, HR tools, and internal portals—without writing any code. What sets Softr apart is how quickly you can move from idea to working solution, and how easily you can connect it to your existing data sources.
While some no-code tools focus exclusively on mobile or are more developer-centric, Softr is ideal for non-technical teams who want complete control over layout, user experience, and permissions. You can build on real-time data from Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create secure, branded tools your team can access anytime.
You can visually customize everything from content and design to user roles and conditional visibility. Plus, features like user roles, forms, conditional logic, and API support are included, so you don’t have to combine multiple tools to create a polished time off request manager.
Yes, you can. Softr supports a wide range of integrations so your time off request manager can connect seamlessly with the rest of your HR and productivity stack. You can automate tasks using Zapier, Make, or N8N, and set up workflows such as notifications, approvals, and syncing leave data with your HR system. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for more advanced integrations.
Whether you want to send approval updates to Slack, sync leave data with payroll, or trigger actions based on new requests, you can easily build these automations into your time off request manager—no coding required.
