Check calendar details before scheduling a Basin request
When a request names a calendar, Notis can retrieve that calendar's details so your review has useful destination context.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Google Calendar
Retrieves a specific google calendar, identified by `calendar id`, to which the authenticated user has access.
Why this helps
Scheduling against the wrong calendar can make an otherwise complete request hard to find later.
- Confirm details for the calendar named in a request.
- Add destination context before taking a scheduling action.
- Reduce uncertainty when work spans multiple calendars.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basin and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which specified calendar to retrieve details for and how to include the result in the request review.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Basin response that identifies a calendar you can access.
Questions about this workflow
Does this update calendar details?
No. It retrieves details for a specified calendar and does not change its metadata.
What if a request does not name a calendar?
Tell Notis to flag the missing destination for review rather than assume which calendar to query.
Does the connected account need access?
Yes. The action retrieves a calendar the authenticated user can access.
