A concise update can help an authorized owner notice when a balance changes.

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

Post message to channel

Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.

Why this helps

Balance changes may be easy to miss when someone must repeatedly check a separate system.

  • Makes balance changes easier for the intended owner to notice.
  • Reduces repeated checks for tracked balance updates.
  • Creates a prompt to review the change in Workday.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Workday and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to post a minimal balance-change notice in an appropriate private Slack channel.
  • 3Select the Workday Absence Balance Changed trigger for the relevant worker and plan.
  • 4Choose where Notis should report automation runs.
  • 5Test with one real balance change and confirm the destination is appropriate.
