Review calendar changes connected to active client work
Have Notis sync events for a specified calendar and highlight changes that match the client context you provide.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Sync Events
Synchronizes google calendar events, performing a full sync if no `sync token` is provided or if a 410 gone error (due to an expired token) necessitates it, otherwise performs an incremental sync for events changed since the `sync token` was issued.
Why this helps
Event changes across a busy calendar are difficult to track without a focused review.
- Review changed events from a specified calendar in a focused report.
- Use a full sync or continue from a valid sync token when available.
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: sync the specified calendar and summarize events relevant to the Bonsai client context you provide.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose a recurring schedule and report channel.
- 5Test with one real calendar and review the returned event changes.
Questions about this workflow
Does this keep a permanent sync token automatically?
A sync token can be used for incremental syncs, but token storage and reuse must be supported by your automation context. Without one, the action performs a full sync.
What if a token has expired?
An expired token can result in a 410 error; the sync action then requires a full sync.
