Make absence cover visible in Google Calendar
When an absence is approved, send its dates and agreed cover plan into the team calendar.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Absence dates and cover arrangements can get lost between HR records and the calendar people check every day.
- Make approved time away visible to the team
- Keep cover arrangements alongside the absence dates
- Reduce manual calendar entry
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 give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a calendar event for an approved absence using its dates and the cover details provided.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and arrange for an HTTP request to start it when the absence is approved.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real approved absence.
Questions about this workflow
Does Breathe HR start this automatically?
Breathe HR has no listed trigger events. Start this workflow with a Notis webhook, for example when your process sends an HTTP request after approval.
Can Notis decide who is covering?
Only if the cover information is included in the request or available in the connected data. Provide the cover plan explicitly when it is not present.
