Why this helps
Deployment windows can be hard to keep in view when they are mixed in with a busy calendar.
- Bring planned deployment events into a concise recurring summary.
- Make upcoming release work easier to notice.
- Reduce manual calendar scanning at the start of the day.

- 3Tell Notis to find and summarize calendar events that represent planned Buildkite deployment windows.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, a report channel, and a time that suits your routine.
- 5Test the automation with one real calendar example.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis identify deployment events?
Describe the event details or text to look for in the automation instruction. The search uses the calendar data available to it.
Can it report deployments that are not on the calendar?
No. This workflow searches Google Calendar events. Add planned deployment windows to the calendar for them to appear in the summary.
