Ground interview planning in the right local time
Have Notis retrieve the current date and time for a specified timezone before preparing a recruiting scheduling report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get current date and time
Gets the current date and time, allowing for a specific timezone offset.
Why this helps
Timezone assumptions create unnecessary back-and-forth when recruiting teams coordinate interviews across locations.
- Make the timezone explicit in scheduling summaries.
- Reduce confusion when coordinating across locations.
- Keep time-sensitive planning grounded in current local time.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to retrieve the current date and time for the specified timezone and include it in the recruiting scheduling report.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scheduling scenario and verify the timezone shown.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create an interview event?
No. The Get current date and time action returns the current time for a specified timezone. It does not create or update events.
Does it convert an interview time supplied by Ashby?
The listed action gets current date and time; it does not convert an arbitrary supplied interview time. Provide timezone context for any interview times in the request.
Why use this with a schedule trigger?
A recurring run can provide a current time reference for a regular recruiting coordination report.
