Put proposal deadlines on the calendar fast
Send the proposal deadline in plain language and have Notis create a simple calendar event to keep it visible.
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
Deadlines buried in proposal details are easy to miss when they have to be copied into a calendar later.
- Create a basic deadline event from natural language.
- Reduce duplicate entry between proposal work and the calendar.
- Make a near-term commitment visible at a glance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bidsketch and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a basic calendar event from the deadline text and proposal context in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real proposal deadline and verify the created calendar event.
Questions about this workflow
Can Quick Add include attendees?
No. Quick Add creates a basic event and does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events.
What should the incoming request say?
Include clear natural language with the deadline date, time if known, and enough proposal context to form a useful event title.
Can I use a secondary calendar?
Yes, if its calendar ID is valid. The action requires a valid calendar ID when it is not the primary calendar.
