Find calendar events on a recurring schedule
Have Notis search your calendar regularly for the event details you care about and summarize the matches.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Repeatedly searching for the same calendar items takes time and makes routine review easy to skip.
- Repeat a useful calendar search without manual prompting
- Search by text and time criteria
- Get match details in the report channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter its name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to find events matching your specified text and time criteria and summarize matches.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real query and time range.
Questions about this workflow
Can it search for a time window?
Yes. Find event supports time ranges and text queries. If both timemin and timemax are provided, timemin must not be chronologically after timemax.
Does it change matching events?
