Turn a datapoint into the next action
A datapoint can mark progress and still leave the next step unclear. Have Notis create a calendar reminder based on the follow-up you describe.
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
Progress updates are easy to record and easy to forget to build on.
- Connect recorded progress to a specific next action.
- Keep follow-ups visible in your calendar.
- Avoid relying on memory after logging a datapoint.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beeminder and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe the follow-up reminder Notis should create from the webhook details in one instruction.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real datapoint and confirm the reminder details.
Questions about this workflow
Does Beeminder automatically trigger this?
No. Beeminder trigger events are not available here. A webhook request starts the automation and can include or identify the datapoint to review.
Can it create a detailed recurring reminder?
This workflow uses Quick Add for a basic event. For recurring events or attendee management, use a different supported Calendar action and provide the required details.
