HiBobRequest time off
BetaChanges data
Submits a HiBob time off request in the shape the policy wants.
Settings
| Setting | What it is |
|---|---|
| ConnectionRequired | The HiBob connection the step signs in with. |
| Employee idRequired | Picked from the list HiBob offers. |
| Policy typeRequired | As the List time off policy types node spells it. |
| How the time is counted | Bob's policies are counted in days or in hours, and the request has to be written the way the policy counts. The List time off policy types node says which. |
| FromRequired | YYYY-MM-DD. |
| ToRequired | YYYY-MM-DD. The same day as From for a single day. |
| First day | "all_day" or "afternoon" |
| Last day | "all_day" or "morning" |
| Hours | number |
| Minutes | number |
| Hours per day | number |
| Minutes per day | number |
| Which half of the day | "morning" or "afternoon" |
| From time | HH:mm in the employee's own time zone. |
| To time | text |
| Per-day durations | One entry per day between From and To, in Bob's own shape: a portion for each day, or a start and end time for each day. |
| Note | What the person wrote on the request. Everyone who may see the request reads it. |
| Reason | The numeric id of a reason Bob offers for this policy — the List time off policy types node leads to them. 0 means no reason. |
| Approver | The employee id of the person who should approve it, instead of the default. |
| Approve it straight away | Admins only. Switching this on creates the request already approved and skips the person's manager entirely. |
