Make the 7shifts rota visible on your calendar

Why this helps
A rota can be ready in 7shifts while the people coordinating the week still have to remember to check another app.
- See the published rota alongside other commitments.
- Reduce reminders to check 7shifts for schedule context.
- Keep shift planning visible in a familiar calendar.

- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis to create one from your preferred channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: create a Google Calendar event from the confirmed rota details provided in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real rota example and check its calendar date and time.
Questions about this workflow
Does 7shifts provide an event trigger for this workflow?
No. This workflow starts from a Notis webhook, which means an HTTP request starts it. Supply the confirmed rota details in that request.
What details should the request include?
Include enough information to identify the shift or rota and provide its start and end times. Google Calendar event creation requires RFC3339 UTC times, with the end after the start.
Can it create events for every individual shift automatically?
The workflow can create an event from the details provided to it. Automatic delivery of each shift depends on your webhook caller sending those details.
