Action
Approve Leave Request
Tool to approve a leave request in BreatheHR. Use when an authorized user needs to approve a pending leave request.
Why this helps
Approved time off can remain pending in HR after the decision has already been communicated by email.
- Reduce delay between decision and recorded approval.
- Tie the action to a specific pending request.
- Surface unclear or unauthorized messages for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Breathe HR once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by naming it and describing the outcome.
- 3Tell Notis to approve only the specifically identified pending request when an authorized reviewer explicitly directs approval; otherwise report for review.
- 4Pick New Email Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide whether the request should be approved?
No. The workflow applies an explicit authorized decision. It should not make the leave decision itself.
What if the email does not include a request reference?
Have Notis flag it for review rather than guess which leave request to approve.
