  • Bring account calendar settings into a focused review.
  • Keep relevant preferences visible while planning client work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bonsai and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome: retrieve Google Calendar settings and summarize the preferences relevant to the client scheduling context you provide.
  • 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose a recurring schedule and report channel.
  • 5Test once and confirm the settings summary is useful for your scheduling decisions.

Questions about this workflow

Can it change my Calendar settings?

No. This action retrieves settings for review and does not modify them.

Will every setting matter for Bonsai?

Not necessarily. Ask Notis to summarize settings relevant to your supplied scheduling context, and verify any preference before relying on it.
