Find the right billing event before following up

Search for the relevant event using invoice or customer context in the webhook request, then review the result before acting.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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

Searching a busy calendar for the right billing conversation can interrupt focused work and lead to duplicate follow-ups.

  • Search using event text and a supplied time range.
  • Check whether a relevant billing event already exists.
  • Reduce duplicate scheduling caused by calendar uncertainty.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Altoviz and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for billing event lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to search the chosen calendar using the invoice or customer text and time bounds provided in the webhook request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real billing event and review the matching result.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow search all calendars automatically?

The request needs to identify the calendar and search context. The action searches a specified Google Calendar.

What if the time range is invalid?

Provide a start time that is not chronologically after the end time.
