Make room to prepare orders before cutoff
Have Notis find orders approaching a cutoff you specify, then reserve time to prepare the work.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Shipping cutoffs are easy to overlook when order review and time planning happen in separate sessions.
- Reserve time ahead of a supplied cutoff
- Base the review on orders returned by Baselinker
- Keep the event tied to the qualifying orders
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Baselinker and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which Baselinker orders qualify, the cutoff rule to use, and when to create a calendar preparation block with order references.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real order and a cutoff rule available from your Baselinker data.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer the shipping cutoff?
No. Supply the cutoff time or the rule for finding it in the instruction, using information available from Baselinker.
Will the schedule guarantee an event is created only once?
The instruction should tell Notis how to recognize an existing preparation block before creating another one.
