Create a calendar hold from an Ably request
Send the request once through Ably. Notis can turn its scheduling details into a Google Calendar event.
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
Scheduling details arrive in chat or agent messages, then get lost while you switch apps to make the calendar entry.
- Capture date and time requests without switching apps
- Keep the event details tied to the original request
- Get a run report in your chosen channel
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 give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to create a calendar hold from the scheduling details in the incoming Ably request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Ably scheduling request.
