Make room for Beeminder progress before the deadline
Send a webhook when you want to plan a goal session. Notis checks the Beeminder goal details and schedules a work block before its deadline.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
A deadline can creep up while your calendar fills with other work.
- Reserve time while there is still time to act.
- Keep goal work visible alongside other commitments.
- Reduce the effort of turning a deadline into a plan.
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 goal, deadline, and work-block outcome in one instruction.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Beeminder goal and confirm the calendar event.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
A webhook request starts it. Beeminder does not provide a trigger event in this setup, so the request can ask Notis to plan around a goal.
Does it know how long the work block should be?
Tell Notis your preferred duration in the instruction. If no duration is supplied, it should ask or use a duration you specify as a default.
