Capture sick-day reports from Telegram in Breathe HR
A short Telegram message can start a clear absence record, so the team can focus on covering the workday.

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.
Why this helps
Sick-day details can get buried in chat while someone remembers to update HR records.
- Capture reported sickness closer to when it is shared.
- Reduce repeated entry across chat and HR.
- Keep the relevant details together for HR follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Breathe HR to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language what it should do.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a sickness record when an employee reports sick in Telegram, using only details they provide and flagging anything missing.
- 4Choose Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real sick-day report and review the resulting record.
Questions about this workflow
Can a message create a sickness record if dates are missing?
Tell Notis to ask for missing details or flag the report for review rather than assume dates.
Does this approve an absence?
No. It creates a sickness record from the report; it does not approve leave requests.
