Give absence follow up a visible reminder
Put the next agreed absence check in the calendar so it is easier to remember when the day gets busy.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Follow-up dates can sit in HR notes until they slip past without anyone noticing.
- Make an agreed follow-up date visible
- Reduce reliance on memory and scattered notes
- Create a simple reminder from a clear request
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 it for absence follow up.
- 3Tell Notis to create a basic calendar event for the follow-up date and time supplied with the absence request.
- 4Choose notis_webhook and start it with an HTTP request when the follow-up is agreed.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real follow-up request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it calculate a follow-up date from an HR policy?
Only if the policy or interval is provided in the request or instruction. Otherwise supply the agreed date and time explicitly.
Can I add an attendee?
Quick Add Event does not support direct attendee addition, so this creates a basic event.
