Hi, I’m trying to create an out of office hour bot to reply in Slack when people tag our Slack group in OOO.

To achieve this I’d like to check at what hour our team was tagged in a conversation/post. Looking at the below document I should be able to select “HH” in the To Format field, but this option is not in the dropdown and when I enter “HH” as Custom value nothing happens.

Hi @phteven7, thanks for joining the Community! 🎉

From the screenshot it looks like the Custom value option isn’t selected.

To select a custom format you’ll need to click on Custom and then type the desired format (HH) directly into the To Format Field:

Can you give that a try and let us know if that get it’s working?

Thanks a lot, that was it.

YAY! Thanks for taking the time to pop back in here to confirm that worked, @phteven7. I’m so pleased that did the trick! 🤗
