Anchor a report request to the right time
Make relative timing clearer by attaching the current date and time to the request context.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get current date and time
Gets the current date and time, allowing for a specific timezone offset.
Why this helps
Vague timing such as today or this week can lead to confusion when a report request crosses time zones.
- Resolve the current date and time for planning context
- Make relative date instructions easier to interpret
- Keep request timing explicit across time zones
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: When I submit a report request, get the current date and time using the timezone offset I provide and include it in the run summary.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and a timezone offset you use.
Questions about this workflow
Does this schedule a calendar event?
No. It retrieves the current date and time for context; it does not create an event.
Do I need to provide a timezone?
Provide a timezone offset when the request needs local timing context. The action can also use its default behavior.
