Plan coverage around upcoming PTO
A short, scheduled view of time off can make coverage conversations easier to start.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Time off details may be spread across records, making it harder to spot upcoming coverage gaps early.
- Bring selected upcoming PTO details into a recurring planning check.
- Help the team identify dates that may need coverage discussion.
- Avoid manually compiling the same view each time.
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 summarize PTO records for the period you specify and call out dates that may need a coverage discussion.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the summary for appropriate detail.
Questions about this workflow
Can it determine who should cover each absence?
Only if you provide coverage rules or context. BambooHR records alone may not identify the right person to cover.
