Put a deployment window on the calendar fast
Send a deployment window request and let Notis create the 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
A deployment time shared in a request can disappear into chat or a handoff before anyone adds it to the calendar.
- Converts a webhook request into a basic calendar event
- Uses natural language for the event title and timing
- Keeps deployment coordination out of a separate manual calendar step
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Google Calendar once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to quick-add a basic event from the deployment window details in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real deployment window request.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook fire automatically from a CircleCI event?
No CircleCI trigger events are available here. A Notis webhook starts the automation when it receives an HTTP request.
Can quick add invite attendees or create a recurring event?
No. Quick Add Event is for a basic event and does not support directly adding attendees or recurring events.
