Check your calendar before making another event
A quick search can catch an existing hold before it becomes another item to manage.
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
Repeated requests and scattered conversations make it easy to schedule the same thing twice.
- Search using only an approved text query and time range.
- Catch likely existing events before creating a new one.
- Keep sensitive request details out of the calendar search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Anonyflow and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to search the specified calendar and time range for a likely existing event before proceeding with a scheduling request.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one request that has a known matching event.
Questions about this workflow
Does Find Event prove that a request is a duplicate?
No. It returns matching events based on the provided query and criteria. Review the results before deciding whether to create anything.
What information is needed to search?
Provide a calendar, a useful search phrase, and, when relevant, a start and end time in chronological order.
