Plan Census follow-up around your existing calendar
See what is already scheduled before deciding when to follow up on a Census analysis request.
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
Planning a data follow-up without checking the calendar first can create conflicts or add more rescheduling work.
- Check existing calendar events within a defined time window.
- Plan follow-up with current commitments in view.
- Reduce calendar conflicts around research work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to find relevant calendar events within the requested follow-up window and summarize suitable time options.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real follow-up window and confirm the events found are relevant.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow create an event?
No. It uses Find event to locate matching events in Google Calendar, helping you plan a follow-up around existing commitments.
What is required for the time window?
Provide a valid start and end time, with timemin not chronologically after timemax.
Can the workflow see Census report history?
Only data returned or supplied for the automation is available. The schedule does not create a Census bureau change trigger.
