Check the calendar before adding a campaign slot
Use an incoming BulkPublish scheduling request to find related Google Calendar events and surface conflicts or duplicates.
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
A new publishing request can overlap with plans already on the calendar.
- See related campaign plans before scheduling.
- Spot possible duplicate entries.
- Keep campaign context close to the scheduling decision.
Setup

- 1Connect BulkPublish and Google Calendar once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to search for related events using the campaign details in each request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scheduling request and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow

Which details help the search?
