Put invoice review dates on the Canvas calendar
Turn a date and a document that needs attention into a calendar event your team can act on.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Calendar Event
Creates a calendar event, optionally as a recurring series.
Why this helps
A review date can be buried in invoice details or a separate message, then missed when people plan their work.
- Make review timing visible in Canvas.
- Reduce manual entry of dates and event context.
- Keep the invoice reference near the planned review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas calendar event using the invoice and review timing supplied by webhook.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real invoice and a known review date.
Questions about this workflow
Can the date be extracted automatically?
Notis can use a date supplied in the webhook or extracted details included with it. If a review date is not present, provide a rule for determining it.
Can the calendar event repeat?
The Canvas action supports finite recurrence options. Include recurrence instructions only when they are appropriate and supplied.
