Keep sickness follow-up details aligned across Notion and Breathe HR
A meaningful follow-up update in Notion can cue the corresponding sickness record update in 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
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
When an absence status changes, updating the HR record can slip behind the daily work queue.
- Reduce delay between follow-up and HR record updates
- Keep review notes with the absence process
- Avoid relying on memory to revisit the HR record

- 1Connect Notion and Breathe HR to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to update the corresponding Breathe HR sickness record when an authorized Notion follow-up changes.
- 3Choose Page Properties Updated for the designated follow-up data source and pick a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real follow-up change and verify the sickness details in Breathe HR.

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
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Approve Leave Request
Tool to approve a leave request in BreatheHR. Use when an authorized user needs to approve a pending leave request.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Employee
Tool to create a new employee in BreatheHR. Use when you need to add a new employee record with their personal information, contact details, and employment information. Required fields are first_name, last_name, email, and company_join_date.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
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.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Delete Employee Expense
Tool to delete an employee expense by ID. Use when you need to remove an expense record from the system.
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.
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.
