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
Small plans mentioned in texts can disappear before you get a chance to open Calendar.
- Capture a simple plan with less typing.
- Use natural language from the message.
- Keep Quick Add for basic events without attendee or recurrence requirements.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: use Quick Add for a simple plan only when the message includes a clear title, date, and time.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real text that states a simple plan.
