Route external employee updates into Breathe HR
When an external system sends an employee update, a Notis webhook can start a Breathe HR change request using the supplied employee and change details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Employee Change Request
Tool to create a change request for an employee field. Use when you need to update employee information such as job title, department, or salary.
Why this helps
