Quick add simple chatbot appointments
Pass a clear appointment request from Botsonic to Notis and have Google Calendar turn its natural language date and time into an event.
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
A straightforward appointment request still takes several steps to copy from a chatbot into a calendar.
- Capture straightforward appointments from chat.
- Use natural language for basic event details.
- Reduce manual calendar entry for simple requests.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botsonic and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to use Quick Add for simple appointment requests included in the webhook, preserving the supplied natural language date and time.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real webhook containing a simple appointment request with a date and time.
