Make a simple scheduling request calendar-ready
Send a short request such as a meeting title and time, and Notis can ask Google Calendar to add it.
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
Copying a straightforward scheduling request into your calendar interrupts the work you are doing.
- Handle uncomplicated event requests without retyping them.
- Keep incoming scheduling requests actionable.
- Use a short instruction rather than a field mapping.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, say to turn each incoming simple scheduling request into a Google Calendar event.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real request that clearly states the event name, date, and time.

Can Quick Add create recurring events?
