Catch calendar changes that affect planned research
A changed event can disrupt a source review. Schedule a calendar sync and have Notis report relevant changes for the Archive.org research sessions you identify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Sync Events
Synchronizes google calendar events, performing a full sync if no `sync token` is provided or if a 410 gone error (due to an expired token) necessitates it, otherwise performs an incremental sync for events changed since the `sync token` was issued.
Why this helps
Research sessions can move or disappear amid calendar changes, leaving source reviews easy to miss.
- Review calendar changes on a regular schedule.
- Surface changes related to the Archive.org research sessions you identify.
- Keep the source reference available in the report for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Archive.org and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for research calendar checks.
- 3Tell Notis to sync calendar events and report changes matching the Archive.org source references or research sessions you provide.
- 4Choose the schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real calendar sync and a known research event.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow identify every event related to Archive.org?
Only when the event details or the information you provide makes the connection clear. Supply the source references or a matching rule in the instruction.
Does Sync Events need a sync token?
It can perform a full sync without one. If a token is supplied, it performs an incremental sync; an expired token requires a full sync.
