Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If I am not available or if I am on leave, my notifications can go unhandled.

Describe the solution you'd like

A way to have notifications to be routed or forwarded to another user in a specified away time or anytime based on user preference.
For example, set to forward notifications when not active to a different user may be one or
set an out-of-office time with an optional other user to forward notifications during that time.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Check on things even when I am out-of-office or away or let it go unhandled.

Additional context

I see that there is an absence section where you can set a replacement in personal settings, but it does not forward notifications as far as I can tell so if there could be maybe a toggle for that, and in notifications a general offline forward that might be nice. The user might even filter what is forwarded

Thank you for your time and consideration, and great job on such a great product!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing absence section in personal settings and how notification delivery is handled. Define the supported away-time or offline forwarding behavior, including an optional replacement user and any filtering, then verify that the requested forwarding works without affecting ordinary notifications.
