Trigger

Worker Leave of Absence Changed

Triggers when a worker's leave of absence record changes. This trigger monitors all leaves of absence for a specific worker and detects: - New leave requests created - Changes to existing leaves (status, dates, comments, etc.) - Deleted or rescinded leaves Uses snapshot-based diffing to track changes between polling intervals.

Action

Create conversation

Use to send messages in canvas by creating a new conversation or adding to an existing one; an existing conversation with the same recipients (and matching scope/filter, if specified) may be reused unless `force new` is true.

Why this helps

Coverage plans become stale when leave changes are missed.

  • Keep coverage plans current
  • Reduce repeated HR checks
  • Highlight changed dates and status

Setup

  • 4Pick the Workday Worker Leave of Absence Changed trigger.
  • 5Choose where run reports go and test with one changed leave.

Questions about this workflow

Can the message focus only on changed fields?

Yes, ask Notis to summarize only the differences returned by the Workday trigger.

Will it create a new conversation each time?

Notis can reuse a matching Canvas conversation when the recipients and scope are the same.
