Put newsletter planning time on the calendar in one request
Tell Notis when you want to work on your newsletter and let it add a simple planning block to Google Calendar.
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'.

- Make space for newsletter planning before launch day.
- Avoid switching into a separate event creation flow.
