Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cal and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to retrieve and report the current date and time for the timezone offset you specify before Cal scheduling.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real timezone offset and verify the reported local time.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a calendar event?
No. It retrieves the current date and time for a specified timezone offset and reports it.
What timezone input should I provide?
Specify the timezone offset you want checked. The action accepts a specific timezone offset.
Why connect Cal if the action only checks time?
This workflow is part of a Cal to Google Calendar package, but this action uses Google Calendar's time lookup. The provided source details do not list a Cal trigger event.
