Make time to read the sources you find
Send Notis an Archive.org item when you find something worth reading. It can create a calendar session with the source link close at hand.
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
Interesting sources pile up in tabs and bookmarks, then disappear from view before you have time to read them.
- Give a promising source a dedicated place in your calendar.
- Keep the Archive.org link with the event for quick access.
- Spend less time deciding what to work on when the session starts.
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 give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the submitted Archive.org item to create a reading session with the source link in its details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Archive.org item reference.
Questions about this workflow
What should I send to the webhook?
Send an Archive.org item reference or URL so Notis can identify the source to include in the calendar event.
Will Notis choose the event time?
The automation needs a usable start and end time. Include your preferred time in the request or specify how Notis should choose one based on available scheduling information.
