Notify HR about newly available absence balances
Make new absence plans visible before questions and manual checks pile up.
Trigger
New Absence Balance
Triggers when a new absence balance record becomes available for a worker. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence balances and detects when new balance records appear (e.g., a new plan/bucket becomes available). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare balance record IDs between polls.
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
New balance records can appear without a clear follow-up owner.
- Create clear follow-up ownership
- Reduce balance lookup work
- Surface new plans quickly
