Get a digest from scheduled calendar syncs
Run an event sync on a recurring schedule and have Notis summarize the returned event data for your review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Sync Events
Synchronizes google calendar events, performing a full sync if no `sync token` is provided or if a 410 gone error (due to an expired token) necessitates it, otherwise performs an incremental sync for events changed since the `sync token` was issued.
Why this helps
Keeping up with calendar changes takes repeated checking and can make it easy to miss an update.
- Run a recurring event synchronization
- Summarize returned event data for quicker review
- Use an existing sync token for incremental sync when available
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 sync the specified events and summarize the returned event data.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example, using a sync token if you have one.
Questions about this workflow
How does the sync behave without a sync token?
Google Calendar performs a full sync if no sync token is provided. With a valid token it can perform an incremental sync; an expired token can require a full sync.
Does this create a separate calendar change history?
No. It uses the sync results available from Google Calendar and summarizes the returned data.
