Put researched deadlines on your calendar
Search for a date, check the source, and turn a confirmed deadline into a simple calendar reminder.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
A date found during research is easy to forget before it becomes an actual calendar reminder.
- Turn a confirmed public date into a reminder without re-entering it manually.
- Keep the source and relevant context in the event description when available.
- Avoid creating a reminder when the search does not establish a reliable date.
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 requested topic, verify a clearly stated deadline in the results, and create a basic event with Quick Add using the confirmed date.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deadline search and check that the date and event title are correct.
Questions about this workflow
Will it guess a deadline if results are unclear?
No. The instruction should tell Notis to create an event only when the search results provide a clear date. Otherwise it should report that it could not confirm one.
Can Quick Add invite attendees?
No. Quick Add creates a basic event and does not support direct attendee addition.
What should the webhook request include?
Include the topic or organization to search and any date range or deadline type that will help narrow the results.
