Make room for the work behind every deadline
Let Notis find upcoming deadlines in AnyDB and reserve focused time to prepare, do the work, and wrap it up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Deadlines stay visible in a database, but the time needed to meet them never makes it onto the calendar.
- Reserve work time before deadlines arrive
- Include preparation and wrap-up time
- Reduce manual calendar planning

- 1Connect AnyDB and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to review upcoming AnyDB deadlines and create calendar blocks that include preparation time.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deadline and review the calendar event.
