Spot absences that may be missing from the calendar
Check upcoming HR absences against calendar entries and get a concise list of dates to verify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
A missing calendar entry can leave colleagues unaware of an absence until plans are already disrupted.
- Identify absences that may need a calendar entry
- Make calendar upkeep a predictable routine
- Focus attention on dates that need verification
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Breathe HR and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the absence audit.
- 3Tell Notis to search calendar events for entries related to each upcoming absence and report absences without a clear match.
- 4Choose notis_cron and set the audit frequency and lookahead window in your instruction.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real upcoming absence.
Questions about this workflow
Can text search prove an absence has no event?
No. It finds matching event text, so use the report as a review prompt. Naming conventions and complete event details improve the match.
Does it create missing events?
No. This audit searches and reports possible gaps for a person to review.
