Notify HR about absence eligibility changes
Make policy eligibility changes visible before they create confusion.
Trigger
Worker Eligible Absence Type Changed
Triggers when a worker becomes eligible or ineligible for an absence type. This trigger monitors the list of eligible absence types for a specific worker and detects when new absence types are added (worker becomes eligible) or when absence types are removed (worker becomes ineligible). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare the list of absence type IDs between polls. Note: Due to Workday security permissions, this endpoint typically only allows access to the authenticated user's own data.
