- Make coverage planning easier to start
- Reduce last-minute schedule surprises
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.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize upcoming PTO from the BambooHR data available to it and create a concise coverage note in Drive.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real PTO example and check that the summary is accurate.
Questions about this workflow
Will this read PTO directly from BambooHR on schedule?
The trigger is a Notis schedule because BambooHR trigger events are not available here. Ensure the workflow has access to current PTO data, or provide it as part of the request.
Can the note assign coverage owners?
Only if you provide the coverage rules or owners. Otherwise, Notis can highlight dates that may need a coverage decision.
