Returns vacation/sick/PTO requests with status, dates, type, approver. For "team capacity this week" planning workflows or for "alert when key person is out" coverage automation.
What inputs does List Time-Off Requests require?
Required: Company ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Does List Time-Off Requests support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Time-Off Requests inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Gusto's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
