Official Claude connector

Updates

Shapes is now an official Claude connector. Admins can find it in Claude's connector page, add it once, and employees link their own accounts, keeping permissions intact throughout. Already using our custom MCP? Nothing changes. Your Shapes data, right where you need it.

12-month booking history in approvals

Updates

Approving time off? You'll now see how many days the employee has booked for the same reason over the past 12 months, and how many days the pending request adds on top. It shows up in booking details, the approval queue, and assigned tasks. Enable it per policy in time-off settings.

Decimals in hourly time-off policies

Updates

Hourly time-off policies now accept decimals. Annual allocation, carry-over, tenure-based accrual, document thresholds, negative-balance limits and max-accrued caps all take values like 7.5 or 20.75.

Heads-up when a review is submitted

Updates

No more checking Shapes to see who's filed their reviews. The moment an employee submits a self-review, or a peer submits a review about them, the cycle manager gets an instant notification by Email, Slack DM or Teams DM. One click and you're reading what came through.
