Check whether changed record dates affect your calendar

When record dates change, a scheduled cross-check can help identify calendar events that may need attention.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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

A changed date in a database can leave an older calendar event behind.

  • Search for calendar events related to changed date records.
  • Spot potential scheduling mismatches for review.
  • Keep date changes from being overlooked in planning.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ApptiveGrid and Google Calendar in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Describe in one instruction which changed date records to review and how to find related events.
  • 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real changed record and inspect the event search results.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automatically update the matching event?

No. Find event searches for matches. Updating an event requires a separate action and enough information to identify the intended event.

What if the record's change history is unavailable?

The automation can only use history or modified-date information supplied or returned to it. If that data is missing, ask Notis to report the limitation.
