Keep sickness records in sync with work status
An employee is marked sick, but then starts closing issues in Linear. Notis watches for their activity and updates the sickness record status in Breathe HR so absence records stay accurate.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Update Sickness
Tool to update an existing sickness record in BreatheHR. Use when you need to modify sickness details such as status, dates, review notes, or other sickness attributes.
Why this helps
Someone is logged as sick in Breathe HR, but they start working again in Linear. Absence records stay stale, reports show incorrect availability, and you lose confidence in your absence data.
- Sickness records update automatically when employees resume work
- Absence reports stay accurate without manual updates
- Catches employees returning early so you know who is available
- Reduces admin overhead of tracking absence end dates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Breathe HR integrations to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Update sickness records as issues progress'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When an issue is updated or completed and the assignee has an active sickness record in Breathe HR, mark the sickness record as resolved or ending today, since activity suggests the employee has returned.'
- 4Select trigger 'Issue Updated' and choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a sickness record in Breathe HR and then updating an issue assigned to that person, then verify the sickness status changes.
Questions about this workflow
What if someone updates an issue while still sick?
Your prompt can be refined to only mark sickness as resolved if the update is major (like completion), not minor edits. For example, 'only if the issue is marked as done.'
Could this accidentally mark someone as recovered too early?
Yes, if someone checks in briefly or updates an issue from home while still sick. You can adjust your prompt to require a specific duration of activity or have a manager confirm before marking recovery.
Does this notify the employee or their manager?
Notis updates Breathe HR, which may trigger notifications based on your Breathe HR settings. You can also configure Notis to notify a channel when a sickness record is updated.
