Catch an availability update with a calendar reminder
Set a recurring check for a product you name. When Best Buy reports it available, Notis can add a reminder at the time you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Repeatedly checking a product page is distracting, and an availability change can be easy to miss.
- Run the check on a recurring schedule you choose.
- Create a reminder only when the availability result warrants action.
- Keep the product and next step in the calendar event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Best Buy and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, name the product to check and ask Notis to create a calendar reminder at your specified time if Best Buy reports it available.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real product and review the result before relying on the schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Can it check a product every day?
Choose a recurring schedule when setting the automation trigger, and specify the product in the instruction.
Will it remember a product that I mention only once?
Include the product in the automation instruction so scheduled runs have the product details to check.
