Why this helps

Planning around calendar preferences can be frustrating when the settings context is not at hand.

  • Retrieve user settings from the authenticated Google Calendar account.
  • Make calendar preference context available during planning.
  • Reduce manual checking when preparing a review plan.

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 retrieve relevant Google Calendar user settings and summarize any planning details useful for the Census review.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real planning request and confirm the returned settings are relevant.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow change settings?

No. List Settings returns the authenticated user's settings.

Will it create an event?

No. This workflow retrieves calendar settings to inform planning; it does not schedule a review.

Does Census trigger the automation?

No. Census bureau exposes no trigger events, so an HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts the workflow.
