Turn PTO planning into a quick team decision
When upcoming time off creates a coordination question, put a focused poll where the team can respond.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Teams can spend too long discussing simple coverage choices across scattered messages.
- Bring a specific coverage question to the team.
- Collect responses in a native Telegram poll.
- Use BambooHR time-off context to prompt planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the planning question and poll options to use when relevant.
- 3Pick a recurring schedule to check for upcoming PTO context.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real planning example and confirm the question and options are clear.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis create a poll for every absence?
Tell Notis which situations warrant a poll. The workflow should post one only when the available BambooHR context supports a useful team decision.
Can a poll determine coverage by itself?
A poll gathers responses. It does not establish staffing requirements or decide coverage unless you provide those rules.
