Finish approved leave without another admin task
Once the decision is recorded in the designated issue, let Notis close the HR loop.
Trigger
New Issue Event
Triggers when a new issue event occurs in a GitHub repository. Covers all issue timeline events such as issues being closed, reopened, assigned, unassigned, labeled, unlabeled, milestoned, demilestoned, renamed, locked, or unlocked. Events can optionally be filtered by type. The payload includes the event type, timestamp, the actor who triggered the event, the affected issue details, and any associated commit references.
Action
Approve Leave Request
Tool to approve a leave request in BreatheHR. Use when an authorized user needs to approve a pending leave request.
Why this helps
Leave decisions are made, but approval in the HR system remains a separate task that is easy to miss.
- Closes the loop after an explicit decision
- Reduces duplicate admin
- Creates a consistent approval handoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Breathe HR to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis: When the designated GitHub issue event confirms an authorized leave decision, approve the matching pending leave request in Breathe HR and report the result.
- 4Select the issue event trigger, choose a private reporting channel, and test with one approved decision.
Questions about this workflow
Is this safe for every issue event?
No. Restrict the instruction and monitored issue to an explicit authorized decision event.
Can it reject leave instead?
Create a separate workflow using the Breathe HR reject leave action and an explicit rejection condition.
