Make Workday balance detail updates easier to review
Keep balance adjustments and accrual changes visible where your operations team already tracks them.
Trigger
Balance Details Changed
Triggers when details of a specific balance change (quantity, accruals, adjustments, etc.). 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 field changes.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
Details such as accruals and adjustments can take extra time to locate when teams revisit Workday records by hand.
- Keep balance detail changes visible in a spreadsheet.
- Help authorized reviewers focus on changed details.
- Reduce manual rechecking of monitored balances.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Workday and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to update your restricted-access balance review area with available changed details.
- 4Choose the Balance Details Changed trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real balance detail change and review the updated cells.
Questions about this workflow
What does this trigger monitor?
It monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance for changes to details such as quantity, accruals, and adjustments.
Is this the same event as a new absence balance?
No. This event detects changes to details of a specific balance; the New Absence Balance event detects newly appearing records.
Can Notis tell whether an adjustment is correct?
The event provides change information. Checking correctness requires applicable policies and other relevant records.
