Understand calendar access before coordinating a review

Check who has calendar access before using it to coordinate a Census data review with collaborators.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

List ACL Rules

Retrieves the list of access control rules (acls) for a specified calendar, providing the necessary 'rule id' values required for updating specific acl rules.

Why this helps

Unclear calendar access can slow down coordination and create uncertainty before sharing a review invite.

  • Retrieve access control rules for a specified calendar.
  • Clarify calendar access context before coordination.
  • Identify rule ids needed for later ACL updates.

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 list access control rules for the specified review calendar and summarize the access context.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real calendar id and verify the listed rules are relevant.
