Put lead follow-ups on your calendar quickly
Capture the follow-up while the lead context is fresh, using a plain language time in the request.
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
A good lead follow-up can disappear into a notes app or inbox before it ever reaches your calendar.
- Reduce the steps between checking a lead and setting a reminder.
- Keep a basic follow-up event tied to the lead request.
- Avoid inventing a date or time when the request is incomplete.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bettercontact and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for your lead follow-up.
- 3Tell Notis to enrich the submitted contact, then use Google Calendar Quick Add to create a basic follow-up event from the request's natural language title, date, and time when those details are clear.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes a contact and a specific follow-up date and time.
Questions about this workflow
Can the quick add action invite the lead?
No. Quick Add creates a basic event and does not support direct attendee addition.
What if the request has no clear follow-up time?
The instruction should have Notis skip event creation and report that a date and time are missing.
Does it support recurring follow-ups?
No. Quick Add is for basic scheduling and does not support recurring events.
