Trigger
New Coda Document Trigger
Triggers when a new Coda document is created.
Action
List Employees
Tool to list all employees in the BreatheHR account with pagination support. Use when you need to retrieve employee information from BreatheHR. Supports filtering by role type (HR, line manager) and RotaCloud integration status. Pagination is handled via page and per_page query parameters, with metadata returned in HTTP headers (Link and Total headers).
Why this helps
Planning begins with outdated spreadsheets because the current employee directory is hard to pull together.
- Use current employee data
- Reduce directory maintenance
- Start planning with less setup
