See whether a proposal review is already on the calendar
Before planning another meeting, check whether there is already a calendar event for the proposal that prompted the request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Proposal follow-up can be duplicated when nobody remembers whether review time was already set.
- Checks whether related review time already exists.
- Connects the search to a specific proposal question.
- Helps avoid unnecessary duplicate events.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beaconchain and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation through Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis: On webhook start, inspect the referenced Beaconchain proposal and search my calendar for a related review event in the requested time range.
- 4Select the webhook trigger and choose a report destination.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the search terms and dates.
