- Use the department details from the request.
- Keep the outcome visible in run reports.
Setup

- 1Connect Google Calendar and Brex once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.

- 4Select the webhook trigger and report channel.
- 5Test with one real department setup request.
Questions about this workflow
Will this also create a budget for the department?
No. It creates a department only. A separate budget workflow can create a budget when the amount and other details are provided.
What if a department already exists?
The action is for creating a department. Have Notis report the request for review if duplication is a concern.
