Give scheduled call workflows the right time context
Start a scheduled planning run with a clear date and timezone reference.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get current date and time
Gets the current date and time, allowing for a specific timezone offset.
Why this helps
Relative phrases such as tomorrow or next week can be misread when a caller and founder are in different timezones.
- Ground scheduled planning in an explicit timezone.
- Reduce ambiguity in relative date references.
- Make time context available to later workflow reasoning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bland AI and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the current date and time for the relevant timezone and include that context in its report.
- 4Pick a Notis cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test one run and verify the reported timezone and current time.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a calendar event?
No. It retrieves current date and time context. Use a separate calendar action when an event should be created.
Where does the timezone come from?
Specify the timezone or offset in the instruction. Do not assume the caller's timezone unless it is provided.
