Find the right calendar events after validating a contact
Give Notis a contact email, a search phrase, and a time window. It validates the email and looks for matching events in the calendar you specify.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Finding the right meeting can take several searches when a contact name or event detail is unclear.
- Validate the contact email before searching.
- Search with request-specific terms and dates.
- Get relevant event details without manually browsing the calendar.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to validate the submitted email and, if valid, find events in the specified calendar using the supplied text query and time bounds.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request whose start bound is earlier than its end bound.
Questions about this workflow
Does the automation change any events?
No. Find Event searches the specified calendar and returns matching events.
What search details should I provide?
Include the calendar ID, text query, and any desired time bounds. If both bounds are present, the start must not be after the end.
Can Abstract search Google Calendar?
No. Abstract validates the email, and the Google Calendar Find Event action performs the calendar search.
