Create a calendar hold from a verified phone request
When a request includes a phone number and a simple scheduling note, Notis can verify the number and add the event from natural language.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
A quick scheduling note can sit in a message while you switch apps to verify the contact and create a calendar hold.
- Verify the submitted phone number before acting on the request.
- Create a basic event from natural language text.
- Avoid retyping a simple date and time into 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 verify the submitted phone number with Abstract and use the supplied natural language scheduling text to quick add a basic event if verification succeeds.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request containing a phone number and an unambiguous event description.
