Carry an authorized leave decision into Breathe HR

When your decision process lives in Notion, make the approved outcome easier to carry into Breathe HR.

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

Approve Leave Request

Tool to approve a leave request in BreatheHR. Use when an authorized user needs to approve a pending leave request.

Why this helps

A decided request can still wait in a second system while someone remembers to complete the approval.

  • Reduce the gap between decision and recorded approval
  • Make the leave decision process easier to complete
  • Keep the decision context close to the handoff

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Breathe HR to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation or ask Notis to approve the matching pending Breathe HR leave request when an authorized Notion decision is recorded.
  • 3Choose Page Properties Updated for the decision data source and select a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real authorized approval and verify the intended request was approved in Breathe HR.

Questions about this workflow

Should I automate every Notion decision?

No. The instruction should restrict approvals to the designated decision record and an explicitly authorized approval outcome.

What does the Breathe HR action do?

It approves a pending leave request. Use it only when the recorded decision authorizes approval.

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

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
