Questions about this workflow
Does this create or change calendar settings?
No. List Settings returns user settings for review.
Can settings tell Notis a Blackbaud event time?
No. This action returns Google Calendar user settings. Event dates and times must come from available planning data.
How often should this run?
Choose a cadence that matches your planning process. The schedule itself does not change the settings.
