Keep upcoming fundraising events visible on your calendar
Give Notis the event details and eligibility rules, then have it check on a schedule and add the upcoming events you need to plan around.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Fundraising event dates can be easy to miss when they live in a separate system from your working calendar.
- Bring selected upcoming fundraising dates into the calendar you already use.
- Reduce the need to check Blackbaud repeatedly for planning dates.
- Use user supplied criteria to keep the calendar focused on relevant events.
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, specify which supplied Blackbaud event records qualify and ask Notis to create Google Calendar events using their dates, titles, and provided details.
- 4Pick notis_cron and set a recurring schedule for the review.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real event record and confirm the created event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this make a live Blackbaud event trigger?
No. The schedule starts the automation. The relevant Blackbaud event data must be available to Notis when it runs.
Can Notis avoid duplicate calendar events?
Ask Notis in the instruction to check for an existing matching event before creating one. Results depend on the event details available for comparison.
What if an event has no time?
Supply a time and duration or define how Notis should handle all-day events. Google Calendar event creation needs usable start and end times.
