Why this helps
Coverage conversations often start too late because upcoming PTO is easy to miss among other work.
- Surface upcoming leave before it starts.
- Prompt coverage planning in a familiar channel.
- Use an approved template for proactive messaging.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find approved upcoming leave and send the approved coverage reminder template to the supplied manager or team contact.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming leave record and confirm the template is approved.
