Put donor meetings on your calendar without re-entering the details
Send a meeting request from your Blackbaud workflow and let Notis create the calendar event with the donor context you provide.
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
Donor meeting details can sit in supporter records while you manually recreate the appointment and lose the context needed to prepare.
- Reduce duplicate entry between fundraising work and scheduling.
- Keep meeting purpose visible when preparing for a donor conversation.
- Create a calendar record from a clear, user supplied request.
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 Google Calendar event for each Blackbaud donor meeting request, using the supplied date, time, duration, title, and meeting context.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and provide the request through an HTTP request.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real meeting request and confirm the event details.
Questions about this workflow
Does Blackbaud start this automation with a built-in event?
No. Blackbaud has no listed trigger events here, so this workflow starts when a notis_webhook receives an HTTP request.
Will Notis find a meeting time automatically?
No. The request must supply the start and end times. Google Calendar event creation requires valid RFC3339 UTC times, with the end after the start.
Can I include donor details?
Yes. Tell Notis which supplied meeting context to include in the event. Only send information appropriate for the calendar and its audience.
