Add community events to Google Calendar quickly
Capture a community event request and get its basic date, time, and title onto your calendar.
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 useful community event idea can stall while you manually create a calendar entry.
- Create a basic event from natural language details.
- Reduce the steps between an event request and a calendar entry.
- Keep event creation connected to a webhook-started workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brilliant Directories and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for community event capture.
- 3Tell Notis to create a basic calendar event from the event title, date, and time supplied in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event request and check the created event.
Questions about this workflow
Can Quick Add include invitees or recurring event settings?
No. Quick Add creates a basic event and does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events.
What should the webhook request contain?
Include natural language with a clear event title, date, and time so Google Calendar can parse the basic event.
