Start the week with document deadlines in view
Have Notis scan upcoming calendar events on a schedule and summarize document deadlines that need follow-up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Important document dates can disappear among routine meetings and other calendar entries.
- Get a recurring view of upcoming document-related events.
- Focus attention on events matching the terms you specify.
- Reduce the need to scan the whole calendar manually.
Setup

- 1Connect Affinda and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which document-related terms to search for and how far ahead to review Google Calendar events.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real calendar event matching your search terms.
