Make PTO balance reviews easier to remember
A recurring nudge can reserve time for a quick PTO balance review before questions accumulate.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Routine balance checks are easy to postpone when they depend on remembering to open BambooHR.
- Create a reliable prompt for a routine review.
- Choose the cadence that fits your process.
- Keep the review human-led and grounded in BambooHR.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the PTO balance information you specify and create a Slack reminder for any follow-up you identify.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the reminder text and timing.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically adjust or approve PTO balances?
No. It creates a reminder for a human review and does not change BambooHR records.
