Create a Cal availability schedule after an absence balance change

Keep availability rules aligned with the latest absence information.

Trigger

Absence Balance Changed

Triggers when a worker's absence balance changes. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance and detects any changes to the balance details including quantity available, effective date, position, or other related fields. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful changes.

Action

Create user availability schedule

Creates a cal.com user availability schedule, defining its name, timezone, weekly recurring availability, and specific date overrides; if `isdefault` is true, this schedule replaces any existing default and applies to event types not linked to a specific schedule.

Why this helps

Availability settings can drift when leave balances change and nobody remembers to update scheduling rules.

  • Keep availability rules current
  • Reduce manual schedule edits
  • Make capacity changes visible

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Workday and Cal in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Absence balance availability update.
  • 3Tell Notis the availability rule to apply and ask it to create a Cal user schedule when the balance change supports it.
  • 4Choose Absence Balance Changed as the Workday trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one balance change.

Questions about this workflow

Does Workday define the weekly schedule itself?

No. You provide the availability rule in the automation instruction.

What if the balance change does not imply a schedule change?

Notis reports the change without creating a schedule when the instruction says no update is needed.
