Turn a scheduling request into a calendar event
When a request needs a time on the calendar, have Notis read its AnyDB details and create a basic event.
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
Meeting requests sit in a database while you switch apps and retype the title, date, and time.
- Convert a request into a basic event
- Keep the request context in AnyDB
- Avoid retyping natural-language dates and times

- 1Connect AnyDB and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.

- 3Tell Notis to read the relevant AnyDB request and use its simple title, date, and time to create a calendar event.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scheduling request and review the event.
