Send the shift details in a request and let Notis create a basic calendar event.
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
Volunteer shifts are easy to overlook when they stay buried in coordination messages.
- Make shift dates easier to find.
- Reduce repetitive calendar entry for straightforward shifts.
- Use a simple natural language event description.

Questions about this workflow
Can this add volunteers as event attendees?
No. Quick Add Event does not support direct attendee addition. Use it for a basic shift event.
What if a shift request is missing a date or time?
Notis should report the missing detail instead of guessing.
