Create an event and invite the requested attendees
Send the event plan through Ably and have Notis create it on the calendar with the attendee details included.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Creating the event and then separately adding invitees makes a straightforward meeting request easy to mishandle.
- Create the event and include supplied attendee details
- Keep scheduling information in one incoming request
- Report the outcome in a channel you choose
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to create the event using the request's title, valid UTC times, and attendees.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the created event.
