Spot upcoming cat appointments early
A recurring calendar scan gives you time to notice appointments before they become same-day surprises.
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
A vet visit or grooming appointment can sneak up when it is buried among work meetings.
- Searches for matching events on a regular schedule
- Uses a time range to focus on upcoming appointments
- Can return relevant details for a concise reminder
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cats and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and ask Notis to search for upcoming cat appointment events.
- 3Pick a notis_cron schedule.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the search range includes a known appointment.
Questions about this workflow
Does the search need a date range?
A time range helps focus results. When both timemin and timemax are supplied, timemin must not be after timemax.
Can the scan create reminders?
This workflow searches calendar events and reports results. It does not alter or create events.
