Anchor a Beamer update review to the current date
Start a recurring changelog review with a clear date and time reference for your chosen timezone.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get current date and time
Gets the current date and time, allowing for a specific timezone offset.
Why this helps
A review without a clear time reference can make it harder to tell what is upcoming or already past.
- Include a current date and time reference in a scheduled report.
- Make upcoming and past dates easier to interpret.
- Use an explicit timezone for date-sensitive review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beamer and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to get the current date and time for your timezone, then review available Beamer changelog activity in that context.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test one real run and confirm the reported timezone is the one you expect.
