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 new hire's first day can be clear in HR but easy for the people preparing onboarding to miss.
- Make start dates easier for the team to notice
- Reduce retyping dates from HR records
- Give onboarding preparation a clear calendar anchor
Setup

- 1Connect Breathe HR and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for first-day scheduling.
- 3Tell Notis to create a basic event for a new starter's first day using the start date and event details in the request.
- 4Choose notis_webhook and arrange for an HTTP request to start it when onboarding details are ready.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real new starter record.
Questions about this workflow
What details need to be included?
The request or connected record needs to provide a valid first-day date and enough context for the event title. Supply any details that are not present in Breathe HR.
Can this invite the onboarding team?
Quick Add Event does not support direct attendee addition. Use it for a basic calendar event.
