Put website maintenance windows on your calendar
Keep planned downtime visible alongside the rest of your work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Maintenance windows buried in status pages can disrupt launches and customer commitments when they go unnoticed.
- Make announced maintenance visible before it affects planned work.
- Keep the source page available in the event description when provided.
- Reduce missed downtime notices.
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 maintenance windows.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect the supplied notice and create an event only when the maintenance start and end are explicit.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real maintenance notice and verify the event times.
Questions about this workflow
Does this monitor a site continuously?
No. A webhook starts the automation with a page or notice to inspect. For recurring checks, set up a Notis schedule and provide the page to check.
What if the notice provides only a start time?
Notis should report that an end time is missing and avoid creating an event with an invented duration.
