Covering the weekend
The store manager asks who is working at the Northwind café on Saturday. Memtro reads the rostered shifts for that location: four people across the day, one open shift from 16:00 to 22:00, and one person on approved leave.
Deputy + Memtro
Ask who is rostered on Saturday in Deputy, or how many hours someone worked this week.
Connect Deputy with your install name, region and a permanent access token, and Memtro reads employees, timesheets with hours and approval, rostered shifts including open and draft ones, leave and its status, and locations and areas. Pay, cost, contact details and leave comments are never returned. It reads on demand and there is no hourly sync. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted the action by name, it can raise, approve or decline leave, clock people in and out, approve timesheets for payroll, post memos to staff and add journal notes. Discarding a timesheet is permanent.
In Memtro
What you can do with Deputy in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Deputy tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Employees with id, name, position, location and whether active, active people by default
- 02Timesheets for up to about two months with start, end, hours, approval, area and location, never pay
- 03Rostered shifts, including open shifts, published or draft, with hours, area and location, never cost
- 04Leave overlapping a period with first and last day and status, and the locations and areas within them
- 05When asked and granted, raises leave requests and approves, declines or cancels them, clocks people in and out, and approves timesheets for payroll or discards one permanently
- 06When asked and granted, posts a memo to a location's staff or named people and adds a journal note to an employee's record, neither of which can be deleted
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Deputy. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
- 01Raise a leave request in Deputy for an employee, awaiting manager approval
- 02Approve, decline or cancel a Deputy leave request
- 03Clock a Deputy employee in (start a timesheet)
- 04Clock a Deputy employee out (end a timesheet), with an optional meal break
- 05Approve a Deputy timesheet for payroll
- 06Discard a Deputy timesheet, permanently
- 07Post a memo in Deputy to a location's staff or named users
- 08Add a journal note to a Deputy employee's record
In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Deputy is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Deputy + MemtroWho is rostered on Saturday at the Manchester store?
How many hours did Dan Fletcher work this week?
Which timesheets from last week are not yet approved?
Approve Priya Sharma's leave request for 12 to 14 December
Post a memo to the Leeds staff that the store opens at 10 on Boxing Day
Closing the week
Before payroll, operations lead Sam Okafor asks Memtro to approve last week's timesheets at the Acme Leeds store. Memtro approves the twelve completed ones so they go into the next payroll export, and lists Friday's that was still in progress for him to check.

FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Deputy?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: raise a leave request in Deputy for an employee, awaiting manager approval; approve, decline or cancel a Deputy leave request; clock a Deputy employee in (start a timesheet); clock a Deputy employee out (end a timesheet), with an optional meal break; approve a Deputy timesheet for payroll; discard a Deputy timesheet, permanently; post a memo in Deputy to a location's staff or named users; add a journal note to a Deputy employee's record. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Deputy connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Deputy data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
How do I connect Deputy?+
Install name, Region and Permanent access token. Sign in to your Deputy install as an administrator who can see the whole roster and open /exec/devapp/oauth_clients on your Deputy address. The token reaches what its maker can see and do.
