Make leave status updates easier to acknowledge

- Makes it easier to acknowledge a leave update.
- Offers a quick path to request follow-up.
- Keeps the message focused on the update without exposing unnecessary details.

- 3Describe a privacy-conscious check-in and the button choices, and specify how to identify the recipient.
- 4Pick the Workday Worker Leave of Absence Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real leave change and verify the message is appropriate for the worker.
Questions about this workflow
Can this send without the worker starting a WhatsApp conversation?
Interactive button messages are delivered only if the recipient has texted first. For business-initiated contact, use an approved template action instead.
Will it include leave comments or sensitive details?
Tell Notis to keep the message minimal. Only include information returned by Workday that is appropriate to share through WhatsApp.
What can the buttons do?
The action supports up to three predefined choices. The buttons let the worker respond quickly, but this workflow does not define a separate follow-up action.
