Give incoming documents an intake slot
When new materials arrive through an ActiveMerge workflow, quickly reserve time to review and organize them.
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
Incoming files can pile up when no time is reserved to check what arrived and what is missing.
- Make intake work visible as a scheduled session.
- Include submission context in the event request.
- Create a straightforward one-time work block.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Ask Notis to quick-add an intake session using the submission details and timing supplied by the webhook.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real document intake.
Questions about this workflow
