Send complete interview details to Notis and use Google Calendar Quick Add to make a basic event in one step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Even a simple interview hold can require several context switches when details need to be copied into a calendar manually.
- Create a basic event from a natural language description.
- Keep the scheduling prompt concise and easy to update.
- Move from a recruiting request to a calendar hold with fewer steps.
Setup

- 1Connect Ashby and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.

- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to quick-add a Google Calendar event from the supplied interview title, date, and time details.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real interview request that includes a clear date and time.
Questions about this workflow
What details does Quick Add need?
Provide a clear event title, date, and time in natural language. The request should contain enough information for Google Calendar to parse the event.
Can this action add the candidate as an attendee?
No. The listed Quick Add Event action does not support direct attendee addition.
Can it create a recurring interview series?
No. Quick Add Event does not support recurring events. Use an appropriate event creation process for recurring schedules.
