Turn submitted form deadlines into calendar entries
Send form data to a webhook and let Notis create a simple event for the deadline it finds.
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
A deadline captured in a form can get lost between intake, review, and calendar entry.
- Carry a date from form data into a calendar event.
- Use a concise event title that identifies the form or request.
- Avoid retyping straightforward deadlines.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algodocs and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe that Notis should find the deadline and identifying label in form data and create a simple event using Quick Add.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real form example that includes a clear date and time.
Questions about this workflow
What kind of event does Quick Add support?
It creates a basic event from natural language text, such as a title, date, and time. It does not support attendee addition or recurring events.
What if the form contains a date but no time?
Specify a default time in the instruction, or have Notis report records without a usable time instead of creating an ambiguous event.
