Check the calendar before report work begins
See the meetings and deadlines around a report run without opening another planning loop.
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
Report preparation can miss an upcoming meeting or deadline when calendar context is checked too late.
- Bring relevant event context into report preparation
- Spot upcoming deadlines before the scheduled run
- Reduce calendar checking across multiple tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Carbone and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis: Before the scheduled report run, find calendar events matching the report topic and summarize relevant dates for my report instructions.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real report topic and confirm the returned events are relevant.
Questions about this workflow
Can the calendar search automatically know which report I mean?
Include the report topic or search phrase in the automation instructions. Notis can analyze returned calendar data, but it cannot infer a topic that was not supplied.
Does this create or change calendar events?
No. This workflow uses Find event to retrieve matching events; it does not edit the calendar.
