Keep Botpress planning informed by calendar changes
Review changed calendar items alongside project discussions so plans stay connected to what is actually scheduled.
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
Calendar changes can make a plan in chat stale, especially when updates happen after the conversation ends.
- Retrieves event changes since a sync token or performs a full sync when needed.
- Helps connect changed events to selected planning conversations.
- Supports a recurring review of calendar updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botpress and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which Botpress planning context to compare with synchronized calendar changes and where to retain or supply a sync token if used.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real calendar change and review the comparison.
Questions about this workflow
Does this make changes to calendar events?
No. Sync Events retrieves event changes; it does not edit the calendar.
What is a sync token?
It supports incremental synchronization. Without a token, or if an expired token requires a full sync, the action performs a full synchronization.
Can it infer the project context?
It can compare returned event data with Botpress context you specify, but any missing project mapping or baseline must be supplied.
