Auto-track sick leave from Linear comments
When a team member mentions they're sick in a Linear comment, Notis instantly logs it in Breathe HR. No separate absence form, no forgotten entries, no manager follow-up needed.

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
Someone comments 'I'm sick today' in Linear, but you still have to manually log it in Breathe HR. Absences slip through the cracks, absence tracking is incomplete, and you lose context about why work paused.
- Absences logged instantly when mentioned, reducing manual overhead
- No separate form required from employees
- Breathe HR stays accurate without manager follow-up
- Context preserved (you see the comment in the Linear issue)
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1In Notis, confirm Linear and Breathe HR are connected in your portal integrations.
- 2Go to Automations and create a new one called 'Auto-log sick leave from Linear comments'.
- 3Write your prompt: 'When someone comments on a Linear issue mentioning they are sick or taking sick leave, create a sickness record in Breathe HR for that employee with today as the date.'
- 4Select trigger 'Comment Received' and choose a notification channel.
- 5Test by having a team member comment 'I'm sick today' on any Linear issue and verify the sickness record appears in Breathe HR.
Questions about this workflow
Will this log sick leave for every comment mentioning 'sick'?
Yes, unless you refine your prompt. You could say 'only if they use the exact phrase I'm taking sick leave' or 'only on issues tagged with -absence' to narrow the scope.
What if someone mentions being sick but it's not actually an absence?
Notis uses natural language, so it tries to interpret context. If false positives happen, you can adjust your prompt to be more specific, like 'only create a sickness record if they say they are not working today.'
Can I add notes or duration to the absence?
Absolutely. Update your prompt to say, for example, 'Extract the duration from their comment and include any additional notes in the sickness record.'
