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
Interesting events are easy to forget while browsing, especially when entering them requires switching apps and copying details.
- Capture a simple event while its listing is in view.
- Use the page's natural-language date and time details.
- Avoid manually opening the calendar event editor.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browserless and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for capturing public events.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect the supplied event listing and use Quick Add for a basic event only when title, date, and time are clear.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event listing and check the calendar entry.
Questions about this workflow
Can Quick Add include invitees or recurring events?
No. Google Calendar Quick Add is for a basic event and does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events.
What happens if the listing is unclear?
Instruct Notis to report the unclear detail and avoid creating an event with guessed information.
