Make room for preparation discussed on a call
Capture a specific preparation window before it gets lost in the meeting notes.
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
Preparation often gets pushed aside when its time was only mentioned in a conversation.
- Turn a stated preparation window into a visible block.
- Keep the preparation purpose in the event text.
- Avoid blocking time based on an assumed duration.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Castingwords and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to quick-add a basic preparation event only when the transcript gives a clear date and time window.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one transcript that states a preparation time window.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow pick a duration if none was discussed?
It should not guess. Quick Add is for simple scheduling text, so use only a clear time window from the transcript.
Can a preparation block include attendees?
Quick Add does not support direct attendee addition.
