Planning around leave
Sarah Chen, engineering manager at Northwind, asked who on her team was off in the next fortnight. Memtro listed the approved time off with dates and days for each person.
Remote + Memtro
Who is off next week, and which expenses and timesheets need approving?
Remote shows you employees and contractors with job title, department, country and status. It reads time off, expenses, timesheets with hours, and payroll runs with their payout dates. When asked and granted, it can approve, decline or cancel time off, answer cancellation requests and record approved leave. It can also approve or send back timesheets, approve, decline or add expenses, add a bonus, and invite a new hire. Remote can tell Memtro as it happens when time off is requested or an expense is submitted, and a job can start on it. Health and family leave show only as leave.
In Memtro
What you can do with Remote in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Remote tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Lists employees and contractors with job title, department, country, status and onboarding stage.
- 02Reads time off by person, status and dates, with health and family leave shown only as leave.
- 03Reads expenses with amounts and status, timesheets with hours, and payroll runs with their periods.
- 04When asked and granted, approves, declines or cancels time off, which the employee sees, or records approved leave.
- 05When asked and granted, approves or sends back timesheets, or approves, declines or adds expenses, which moves money through payroll.
- 06With events on, time off requested, an expense submitted or a timesheet submitted in Remote can start a job.
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Remote. 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.
- 01Approve a time off request
- 02Decline a time off request (the employee sees the reason)
- 03Cancel approved time off
- 04Approve a time off cancellation request
- 05Decline a time off cancellation request
- 06Record approved time off for an employee
- 07Approve a timesheet (feeds payroll)
- 08Send a timesheet back to the employee with a reason
- 09Approve a pending expense (it is reimbursed through payroll)
- 10Decline a pending expense with a reason
- 11Add an expense for an employee, already approved for reimbursement
- 12Add a bonus, commission or allowance for an employee, paid in a coming payroll
- 13Delete an incentive that has not started processing
- 14Invite a new hire to start self-enrollment
Events
When it happens
Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Remote for you. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. Remote signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.

In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Remote 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.
Remote + Memtro
Who is off next week?
Which expenses are pending approval?
Which timesheets have been submitted but not approved?
When does the next payroll run in Germany pay out?
Which new hires are still onboarding?
A time off request
When a time off request arrived from Remote, a job started for Tom Reilly, people lead at Acme Ltd. It read the approved time off for those dates and told him who else would be away.

- Finance and commerceRemote with StripeCustomers, charges, invoices and subscriptions through a restricted key.

FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Remote?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: approve a time off request; decline a time off request (the employee sees the reason); cancel approved time off; approve a time off cancellation request; decline a time off cancellation request; record approved time off for an employee; approve a timesheet (feeds payroll); send a timesheet back to the employee with a reason; approve a pending expense (it is reimbursed through payroll); decline a pending expense with a reason; add an expense for an employee, already approved for reimbursement; add a bonus, commission or allowance for an employee, paid in a coming payroll; delete an incentive that has not started processing; invite a new hire to start self-enrollment. 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 Remote 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 Remote 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 Remote?+
Customer API token. In Remote open Company Settings, then Integrations & APIs, then Remote API, and generate a token. Choose Read only, Full access, or the endpoints you need. Only a company admin or owner can do this.
Can Remote start a job?+
Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Remote for you. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
