Turn a clear Botpress meeting request into an event
When someone names a meeting time in chat, add the basic event without switching tools to retype it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Copying a meeting request out of a conversation and into your calendar adds friction and creates room for missed details.
- Cuts retyping for straightforward meeting requests.
- Uses the conversation's natural-language event description.
- Keeps event creation tied to a clear date and time in the request.
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 to quick-add an event only when the Botpress conversation includes a clear title, date, and time.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and check the event details.
Questions about this workflow
Can this add attendees from the conversation?
No. Quick Add Event does not support direct attendee addition. Use a different process when inviting people is required.
What happens when a request is missing a time?
Ask Notis not to create an event unless the request contains enough timing information, or supply the missing details in the webhook request.
Does Quick Add support recurring events?
No. It is intended for simple, basic event creation and does not support recurring events.
