Quick-add a calendar event from image text
For a simple date on a poster or note, go from image to a basic calendar entry with one webhook request.
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
Small scheduling details can get lost when you need to switch apps just to type a simple event.
- Use readable image text as the basis for a simple event.
- Reduce app switching for straightforward dates and times.
- Quick-add a basic event to Google Calendar.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Astica AI and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to read the submitted image and quick-add only a clear, basic event.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with an image showing one unambiguous event date and time.
Questions about this workflow
What kind of event is this suited for?
It is intended for a basic event with a clear title, date, and time. Quick Add does not support adding attendees or recurring events.
Will the workflow fill in details that are hard to read?
Your instruction should tell Notis to leave uncertain details unresolved and report them for review instead of guessing.
How is this different from creating an event?
This uses Google Calendar's Quick Add action, which parses natural language to create a basic event. The Create Event action is suited to a more explicitly specified event.
