Why this helps
Scheduling against the wrong calendar can create conflicts or send client events to an unexpected place.
- Confirm details for a specified calendar before using it for client work.
- Reduce uncertainty when several calendars are available.

- 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 and summarize details for the calendar ID you provide before client scheduling.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose a recurring schedule and report channel.
- 5Test with one real calendar ID you are authorized to access.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow choose a calendar from a client name?
Supply the calendar ID or reliable identifying context. The action retrieves a specific calendar and does not establish a client-to-calendar relationship by itself.
Does this create events?
No. It retrieves calendar information for review and does not add or change events.
