Set Custom Emojis for Each Absence Type

Shared by Calamari Team • November 19, 2025

Many of you reported that the standard icons don't match your requests—especially the palm tree for sick leave.

You can now set dedicated emojis for each request type. They'll appear in:

  • Slack statuses
  • Private Teams calendar statuses
  • Google Calendar events

How it works: If you're already using Calamari, your settings remain unchanged—all leave requests still show the palm tree 🌴, and remote work shows the laptop 💻. You can now customize them in each request type configuration.

Administrators can choose any emoji from the available list for each request type individually, including neutral ones that don't indicate the type of absence, or those you use internally.

What's next? In upcoming phases, emojis will also appear in group notifications, iCal, and upcoming absences in Slack.
