Prepare for device related events before they begin
Have Notis scan upcoming events on a schedule and call out the device context you may need before they start.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Events
Returns events on the specified calendar.
Why this helps
Preparation gets missed when relevant event details and device status live in separate places.
- Surface upcoming events that may need device information.
- Make preparation a predictable part of the week.
- Summarize only the device context available to Notis.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which upcoming calendar events to review and what device context to include if supplied.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and check the event list and preparation summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does List Events provide device readings?
No. It returns calendar events. Adafruit IO has no trigger events in this package, so provide any device readings or status that Notis should use for the preparation summary.
How does the workflow know which events are upcoming?
Describe the review window in the automation instruction. List Events retrieves events from a specified calendar; the instruction should define the intended time range.
