Prepare a clearer context note for PTO review

Bring the request details and relevant policy into one note before you decide how to handle a PTO request.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create a File from Text

Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.

Why this helps

PTO reviews take longer when request details and the applicable policy are in different places.

  • Put request details in a reviewable format
  • Make policy context easier to find
  • Reduce back and forth before a decision

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BambooHR and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction to create a neutral PTO review note from the supplied request details and policy text, and flag any missing information.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real PTO example and check the note before using it to support a decision.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow approve or deny PTO?

No. It prepares a context note for a person to review and make the decision.

Will Notis know our PTO policy?

Only if the policy is available to the workflow or included in the request. Supply the relevant policy text rather than relying on assumptions.
