Create Breathe HR sickness records from a webhook
Use a Notis webhook to turn an incoming absence notice into a Breathe HR sickness record, with the relevant details carried in the request.
Trigger

Action
Create Employee Sickness
Tool to create a sickness record for an employee in BreatheHR. Use when you need to log an employee's sick leave with details like type, dates, and status.
Why this helps
Absence information arriving outside the HR system can be missed or delayed when it needs to be re-entered manually.
- Start sickness recording from an external HTTP request.
- Reduce manual transfer of employee and date details.
- Keep a run report for follow-up when request details are incomplete.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Breathe HR once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal and describe creating a sickness record from the incoming absence details.
- 3Pick a Notis webhook as the trigger and configure the external sender to make the HTTP request.
- 4Choose a report channel and include the employee and sickness details in the request.
- 5Test with one real absence example.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the webhook request contain?
Include enough information to identify the employee and describe the sickness record, such as dates and status where required by your account.
Does this use a leave request?
No. It creates a sickness record using the Breathe HR sickness action.
Can a webhook update an existing sickness record?
This workflow creates a record. Updating an existing record uses a separate action and needs the record identifier.
