Review leave requests from detailed absence briefs
Let a growing absence brief prompt the right HR review.
Trigger
Document Word Count Threshold
Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value.
Action
List Leave Requests
Tool to list all leave requests with optional date and employee/department filtering. Use when you need to retrieve absence or time-off requests across the organization, optionally filtered by date range, employee, or department.
Why this helps
Complex absence details accumulate in documents while the underlying leave request remains overlooked.
- Surface complex cases
- Reduce missed follow-up
- Focus attention where detail is increasing

Questions about this workflow
Does the threshold decide the leave outcome?

Can it filter by employee?
Yes, when the document clearly identifies the employee.
