Get a clear answer to an HR policy question
When a record raises a policy question, prepare a focused request for the person who can confirm the answer.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Unclear policy questions can linger while people search for the right owner and wording.
- Separate known employee context from the question that needs an answer.
- Ask for clarification without presenting a guess as policy.
- Make the intended owner and response needed explicit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and write the desired request outcome.
- 3Tell Notis to use the employee reference and supplied policy question to draft a concise clarification request to the specified HR contact, noting missing context.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real question and verify recipient, facts, and wording.
Questions about this workflow
Does it interpret BambooHR policy?
No. It can prepare a question using available context, but the policy answer must come from an authorized HR source or person.
Can it choose an HR contact?
Provide the intended contact in the request or prompt. It should flag an unknown contact rather than guess.
