Turn invoice questions into scheduled investigation
Capture the inquiry and give yourself a defined time to find the answer.
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
Invoice questions can linger in a queue when there is no obvious moment to investigate them.
- Create a lightweight investigation reminder from a supplied inquiry.
- Use natural language for the event title, date and time.
- Keep invoice questions from becoming untracked mental notes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Billsby and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to make a quick calendar event for an invoice inquiry using the requested investigation time.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real invoice question and check the event title and timing.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the webhook include?
Include the invoice question and a usable event date and time. Quick Add supports basic event details but does not add attendees or recurring events.
Does this update the invoice?
No. It creates a calendar event to investigate the question; the invoice remains in Billsby.
