What it does

This workflow reacts the moment an employee submits a PTO request. It enriches the raw request with the person's recent leave history and current balance, then gives the approving manager an at-a-glance read on whether this employee is well-rested or overdue, nudging toward approval when the data shows a long stretch without time off.

When to use it

Use this when approvals happen ad hoc and managers lack context at decision time. Surfacing burnout signals inside the approval moment helps prevent reflexive denials of leave for employees who most need the break.

How it works

  1. 1An incoming webhook fires when a new leave request is submitted.
  2. 2BigQuery is queried for the requester's balance and trailing 90-day usage.
  3. 3A logic step classifies the request as routine or overdue based on time since last leave and balance size, and picks the recommendation text.
  4. 4The workflow assembles a context card with dates, balance, usage trend, and the recommendation.
  5. 5A Slack message delivers the enriched request to the approving manager as the output.
