Find calendar matches for pending Byteforms requests
Catch requests that may already be scheduled and those that still need a calendar response.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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 pending request can be hard to track when it is unclear whether someone already added the event.
- Compare pending requests with calendar event search results.
- Surface possible duplicates or requests without a match.
- Keep follow-up visible through scheduled reports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Byteforms and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review pending submissions, search the relevant calendar for likely matches, and report uncertain matches for human review.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pending request and check the reported match.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis determine whether a match is definitely the same request?
Not always. Supply matching clues such as title, date, or requester, and have uncertain results reported for review.
Will this close or update a Byteforms request?
No. This workflow searches Calendar and reports findings; it does not change the submission.
