How to integrate Breathe HR in automation workflow?

3 simple steps to make your Breathe HR connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.

STEP 1

Select Breathe HR in workflow

Pick Breathe HR app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.

STEP 2

Connect Breathe HR

When prompted, authorize access to Breathe HR in WEXTL once. Breathe HR credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].

WEXTL wants to integrate with your Breathe HR account. Approve?

STEP 3

Build a workflow

Build your workflow with Breathe HR yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Breathe HR to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Breathe HR connects and integrates with WEXTL

Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Breathe HR app is called in workflows. That allows your hr automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Breathe HR supports.

Full Breathe HR API documentation

The following table illustrates what fields Breathe HR integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Video slide demonstrates how Breathe HR is connected in WEXTL builder [4].

Field	Type	Help
EnvironmentRequired	select	—
API KeyRequired	password	Log in to your account, go to Configure → Settings → API Setup, and generate your API key from there.

Connect Breathe HR to popular apps on WEXTL

Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Breathe HR below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Breathe HR. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.

Example automation with Breathe HR integration

Select Watch Employee Jobs trigger from Breathe HR - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Breathe HR, workflow will start [7] from Watch Employee Jobs node.

Search for Create an Employee, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Employee Jobs and Create an Employee, so only important data pass from Watch Employee Jobs to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Breathe HR automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].

Breathe HR on WEXTL has 48 modules for combining hr automations. Explore Breathe HR documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about automating Breathe HR in your workflows.

Breathe HR has 8 triggers, including "Watch Absence", "Watch Benefits", and "Watch Bonuses", and more. Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.

Integration has 40 actions, including "Get a Cancelling Leave Request", "Get a Leave Request", and "Get Absences", and more. Refer to our Breathe HR Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.

No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].

Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.

The Breathe HR integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Breathe HR official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.

Absolutely. Where Breathe HR provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Breathe HR or any other service sends event to webhook URL.

WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Breathe HR inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Breathe HR modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
