Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Why this helps
An alert may arrive while existing commitments make immediate follow-up difficult to plan.
- See calendar events in the time range tied to an alert.
- Review existing commitments before deciding on follow-up.
- Avoid automatically creating a conflicting commitment.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to list events in the calendar and time range relevant to each alert and report possible scheduling conflicts.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert that includes a relevant time window.
Questions about this workflow
Will this workflow decide whether an alert is urgent?
Only if the webhook provides enough information and your instruction defines the criteria. Otherwise, it reports calendar context for your review.
What happens when an alert has no time range?
The event listing needs a relevant time range. Supply it in the request or your instruction so the search is grounded.
