Capture a simple train trip in seconds
For a straightforward journey, let Notis use Bart's confirmed schedule details to quick-add a basic event.
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
A simple rail trip still takes several manual steps to copy into your calendar.
- Reduce manual entry for a basic trip.
- Use schedule information Bart actually returns.
- Keep the calendar update tied to an incoming request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a name and prompt, in the portal or by telling Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check a simple train journey with Bart and use Quick Add only when the response supports a clear basic event.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, straightforward journey request.
Questions about this workflow
Can Quick Add include attendees?
No. Google Calendar Quick Add does not support adding attendees or recurring events.
When should this workflow avoid Quick Add?
