- Use Notis to turn supplied maintenance context into an event description.
- Protect planning time before urgent work takes over.

Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a scheduled trigger here?
No. This workflow starts from a Notis recurring schedule. Any Adafruit IO maintenance information must be supplied or otherwise made available to Notis.
Can Create Event make an event without start and end times?
It needs RFC3339 UTC start and end times, with the end after the start. Include clear timing rules in the instruction so Notis can choose them.
