Turn upcoming Calendly meetings into Slack reminders
Let a scheduled Notis automation check for upcoming meetings and create Slack reminders so preparation has a clear prompt.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Meeting preparation slips when the calendar event is easy to overlook among other work.
- Put a preparation prompt in Slack
- Reduce reliance on remembering to revisit the calendar
- Base reminder timing on meeting details Calendly provides
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Calendly and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to check for upcoming Calendly meetings and create a Slack reminder for each meeting it can schedule from the available date and time.
- 4Choose the Notis cron trigger, set how often to check, and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming meeting and confirm the reminder text and time.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create a reminder if a meeting time is missing?
No. Slack reminders need a time, so Notis should skip entries without enough scheduling information.
How does it avoid repeating reminders?
Ask Notis to check whether it has already created a reminder for the same meeting. If it has no reliable way to identify prior reminders, provide a suitable identifier or review duplicates.
