Connect new research to existing commitments
A scheduled search can bring fresh public information together with the calendar events it may affect.
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
New information can change the context for a meeting or decision, but connecting it to existing commitments takes manual searching.
- Surface relevant calendar events alongside newly found public information.
- Review changes before an upcoming meeting or commitment.
- Keep the automation focused on finding context without making calendar changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ceramic and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to search the chosen public topic, find related Google Calendar events in a specified time range, and report the findings together.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real search and a time range containing a relevant calendar event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow change calendar events?
No. It searches for matching events and reports relevant context; it does not edit or create events.
What if no date range is specified?
Provide a time range in the automation instruction so Notis knows which calendar commitments to check.
What source information can be included?
Notis can summarize relevant details returned by Ceramic and Google Calendar, subject to what those services return.
