Get a video review session onto the calendar fast
When a Captions video needs eyes on it, send a short request and let Notis add the review time to Google Calendar.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Review sessions get postponed when scheduling them takes more effort than sending one more message.
- Schedule a basic review session from plain language.
- Keep video review time visible with other calendar commitments.
- Spend less time turning a chat request into a calendar entry.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Captions and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe that a supplied review request should become a basic Google Calendar event using Quick Add.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that states the review title, date, and time.
Questions about this workflow

What should I include in the request?
State a clear event title, date, and time in natural language. Include any useful Captions video context in the request.
Does the workflow create or edit a Captions video?
