Auto-reject leave from Linear comments
Rejecting a leave request in Linear should not require another step in Breathe HR. When you comment 'denied' or explain why leave is rejected, Notis updates the request status instantly.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Reject Leave Request
Tool to reject a leave request in BreatheHR. Use when an authorized user needs to decline an employee's time-off request with a provided reason.
Why this helps
You deny a leave request in Linear with context and reasoning, but the request hangs in pending status in Breathe HR. Double entry is required and employees remain uncertain about their actual status.
- Leave rejections sync instantly from Linear to Breathe HR
- Employees see the decision immediately without lag
- Your reasoning is preserved in both systems
- Eliminates duplicate work rejecting in two places
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Confirm Linear and Breathe HR are connected to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Reject leave requests when denied in Linear'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When someone comments "denied" or "rejected" on a leave request issue in Linear, automatically reject that leave request in Breathe HR and include the reason from the comment if provided.'
- 4Select trigger 'Comment Received' and pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by commenting 'denied' with a reason on a leave request in Linear and confirm the request is rejected in Breathe HR.
Questions about this workflow
Can I include a reason for the rejection?
Yes. If your comment includes a reason, Notis will extract it and add it to the rejection in Breathe HR.
What if someone accidentally comments 'denied'?
You can refine your prompt to require a more specific phrase, like 'only if the comment explicitly says this leave request is denied' or 'only from comments by the line manager.'
Can the employee appeal or request reconsideration?
The rejection is logged, but employees can still request reconsideration through normal Breathe HR processes or by opening a new leave request issue in Linear.
