Give campaign reviews a clear place in the calendar
Turn a supplied campaign review window into a focused calendar block that includes the decision or preparation needed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Campaign review work often gets pushed aside when it has no visible time reserved in the calendar.
- Reserve visible time for campaign review work.
- Keep the review purpose with the block.
- Reduce scheduling overhead for clearly scoped work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a calendar event for supplied campaign review work using its title, valid start and end times, and review purpose.
- 4Pick notis_webhook and send the request through an HTTP request.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real campaign review request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Blackbaud start this from a built-in event?
No. There are no Blackbaud trigger events listed, so this uses the Notis webhook trigger.
What timing does event creation require?
Use RFC3339 UTC start and end times, and make sure the end follows the start.
Can the automation pick a slot itself?
This workflow creates an event at supplied times. Use Find free slots to discover candidate times first.
