Put your company research follow-up on the calendar
Capture the next follow-up while the company insight is still in front of you.
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
Useful research often gets collected without a clear reminder to act on it.
- Turn a stated follow-up into a basic calendar event.
- Keep the reminder tied to the researched company.
- Reduce the chance of losing the next step after research.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigpicture io and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for company follow-ups.
- 3Tell Notis to quick-add a Google Calendar event from the supplied follow-up text, company context, and date or time.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real follow-up and a clear date or time.
Questions about this workflow
Can this add attendees or recurring events?
No. Quick Add supports a basic event and does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events.
What if there is no follow-up date?
Supply a date or time in the request. The workflow should ask for missing timing rather than invent one.
