Check an ICS feed before relying on it
Verify that a calendar feed URL is accessible and contains valid iCalendar data before you depend on it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check ics feed calendar endpoint
Checks whether a calendar feed is accessible and contains valid calendar data.
Why this helps
A broken or malformed feed can undermine scheduling, and checking it manually adds avoidable friction.
- Check the feed URL's validity and accessibility with Cal.
- Check the feed's iCalendar data integrity.
- Get a report that helps identify an unusable feed before relying on it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to check the submitted ICS feed URL in Cal and summarize whether it is valid, accessible, and contains intact iCalendar data.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real ICS feed URL.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add the feed to Cal?
No. The action checks the feed URL; it does not connect or select a calendar.
What should the webhook request include?
Include the ICS feed URL as a query parameter, as expected by the Cal action.
