Notis

Check your calendar before saying yes

A proposed meeting time in a text can be checked against your existing events before you reply.

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

Accepting a time from a text without checking your calendar can lead to avoidable scheduling conflicts.

  • Review events around a proposed time before committing.
  • Reduce back-and-forth caused by missed conflicts.
  • Get a concise run report with the matching events.

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: when a message proposes a specific time, search Google Calendar for overlapping or nearby events and report the result.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real text proposing a time you can compare with your calendar.

Questions about this workflow

Does this accept or decline the meeting?

No. It checks the calendar and reports the result; it does not send a reply through Android Texter.

What if the text gives no date?

The automation should report that the date is missing instead of guessing.
