Turn an Absence Report Into a Breathe HR Sickness Record

Capture the employee and sick leave details in a request, then have Notis create the corresponding Breathe HR sickness record.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Employee Sickness

Tool to create a sickness record for an employee in BreatheHR. Use when you need to log an employee's sick leave with details like type, dates, and status.

Why this helps

Manually transferring absence details into HR records adds friction when someone reports sick.

  • Create the sickness record from details provided in the request.
  • Reduce retyping between an absence report and Breathe HR.
  • Keep absence information ready for HR tracking.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Breathe HR once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Log employee sickness.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Breathe HR sickness record using the employee identity, sickness type, dates, and status supplied with each request.
  • 4Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example using accurate employee and absence details.

Questions about this workflow

What information should the webhook request include?

Provide enough information to identify the employee and record the sickness, including the relevant type, dates, and status required by your Breathe HR setup.

Will Notis infer an employee or sickness details if they are missing?

No. Supply the required details with the request, and review the run report for any information that could not be used.
