Reserve a regular slot for the PDFs and reports that need a human decision.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Why this helps
Without a protected review slot, generated documents can accumulate until they become urgent.
- Create a review block when the configured Notis schedule runs.
- Keep recurring document review time visible on the calendar.
- Use details supplied in the prompt for the event timing and purpose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api2pdf and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, describe the review block to create and the document context to include when supplied.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the start and end times.
