Turn a ready expense batch into a Breathe HR claim

Give expense batches a clear next step by using their Notion ready status to start claim creation.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Action

Create Employee Expense Claim

Tool to create a new expense claim for an employee. Use when you need to submit expenses for reimbursement by grouping one or more unclaimed expense records into a claim.

Why this helps

Expense records may be entered but never grouped into a claim, leaving reimbursement follow-up as another open loop.

  • Close the gap between expense capture and claim submission
  • Use one batch-ready signal to prompt the next step
  • Reduce the mental load of tracking which expenses still need claiming

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Breathe HR to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation or tell Notis to create a Breathe HR expense claim from the relevant unclaimed expenses when a Notion batch is marked ready.
  • 3Choose Page Properties Updated for the expense batch data source and select a run report channel.
  • 4Test with a real batch and confirm the resulting claim and included expenses in Breathe HR.

Questions about this workflow

Does a Notion batch itself become the claim?

The action creates a Breathe HR claim by grouping one or more unclaimed expense records. Explain in the prompt which expenses the batch refers to.

Can it submit every expense automatically?

The instruction should clearly identify which batch is ready, so Notis can act only on the expenses intended for that claim.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Breathe HR. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Breathe HR actions

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

TriggerPolling

Create Employee Change Request

Tool to create a change request for an employee field. Use when you need to update employee information such as job title, department, or salary.

ActionInstant

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

Create Employee Expense

Tool to create an employee expense record in BreatheHR. Use when an employee needs to submit a new expense claim for reimbursement or record a company-paid expense.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Create Employee Expense Claim

Tool to create a new expense claim for an employee. Use when you need to submit expenses for reimbursement by grouping one or more unclaimed expense records into a claim.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Delete Employee Expense

Tool to delete an employee expense by ID. Use when you need to remove an expense record from the system.

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

Delete Employee Training Course

Tool to delete an employee training course record by its ID. Use when you need to remove a training record from an employee's profile.

ActionInstant
