Notis

Start your lead review with the right local time

Anchor a scheduled lead check to the timezone your workday actually follows.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get current date and time

Gets the current date and time, allowing for a specific timezone offset.

Why this helps

UTC timestamps can make a scheduled review feel out of sync with the local workday and follow-up window.

  • Frame a scheduled review around a stated timezone offset.
  • Pair current time with enriched contact context.
  • Avoid guessing whether a follow-up window has opened.

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 local-time lead review.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current date and time using the specified timezone offset, enrich the supplied leads, and summarize follow-up context relative to that time.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real timezone offset and a small contact list.
