Make room for weather delays around important trips
When severe weather could slow a trip, add a buffer to the calendar before the day gets crowded.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
A weather delay can turn a tightly scheduled day into a scramble between commitments.
- Make a delay visible alongside the affected commitment.
- Add preparation time without searching for a free slot manually.
- Keep the buffer tied to the location and trip details you provide.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect API Ninjas and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which location and severity should trigger a travel buffer, and ask it to create a labeled calendar event when the webhook provides a matching alert.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert or representative webhook request.
Questions about this workflow
Does it calculate travel time?
No. Specify the buffer length or timing rule in your instruction; the workflow responds to the weather information provided.
Can it create an event on a specific calendar?
Include the calendar you want Notis to use in your instruction, provided you have write access.
