Put a Bolt device check on the calendar in one request
Describe the check and its time in the request, then let Notis add the basic calendar event.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
A quick device check is easy to postpone when creating a calendar event takes more steps than the task itself.
- Create a basic event from a concise natural-language request.
- Keep the device check and its requested date together in one step.
- Use the request as the source for event timing.
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 use Quick Add for a simple device check request and preserve its stated title, date, and time.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes a clear date and time.
Questions about this workflow
Can Quick Add invite a technician?
No. Quick Add does not support direct attendee addition. Create a basic event and manage invitations separately if needed.
What timing should the request include?
Include an unambiguous date and time in the request. The action creates a basic event and should not be relied on to infer missing timing.
