Check for an existing event before scheduling
Avoid creating another entry when the event is already on your calendar.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Revisiting the same event page can lead to duplicate calendar entries and extra cleanup.
- Read the submitted event page for its title and date.
- Search Google Calendar for likely matching entries.
- Review possible matches before deciding whether to add an event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brightdata and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe how to read an event page and search Calendar for a matching title and date.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with an event that is already on your calendar and review the match.
Questions about this workflow
Will it delete duplicate events automatically?
No. This workflow finds likely matches for review and does not delete calendar entries.
What if the page title differs from the event title?
Tell Notis which details to use for its search, such as the event date, organizer, or key title terms.
