Surface renewal reviews before their calendar dates
A scheduled scan brings the next renewal review commitments back into focus.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
A renewal review can be easy to overlook when it is scheduled weeks ahead among many other events.
- Search a defined upcoming period for renewal review events.
- Bring relevant calendar commitments into a scheduled report.
- Make future renewal work easier to prepare for.

- 1Connect Billsby and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to find renewal review events in a specified upcoming time range and summarize what needs preparation.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one run and confirm the search window and results.
Questions about this workflow
Does this find every Billsby renewal?
No. It searches calendar events. A renewal that is not represented on the calendar will not appear unless the relevant data is supplied through another input.
Can it use an open-ended search?
Use a defined time range so the scan focuses on the period you want to prepare for.
