Put every Bonsai client kickoff on your calendar
When a client is ready to start, send a webhook with the agreed kickoff time and let Notis add it to Google Calendar.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
A signed client can be ready to begin while the kickoff still waits in a message thread or task list.
- Keep client kickoff dates visible alongside the rest of your schedule.
- Use the actual date, time, and client details included in the webhook request.
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: create a Google Calendar kickoff event using the client and meeting details in the incoming request.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes the agreed start and end times.
Questions about this workflow
How does the workflow know the kickoff time?
The webhook request must include the agreed event start and end times. Notis can use the details supplied in the request; it cannot infer a time that Bonsai does not provide.
Does Bonsai send a native trigger event?
No Bonsai trigger event is listed here. This workflow starts when a notis_webhook request reaches the automation.
