Catch calendar changes that affect release plans
Review calendar event changes that could matter to upcoming deployments.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Sync Events
Synchronizes google calendar events, performing a full sync if no `sync token` is provided or if a 410 gone error (due to an expired token) necessitates it, otherwise performs an incremental sync for events changed since the `sync token` was issued.
Why this helps
Calendar changes can quietly affect release plans when nobody checks for updates after the original coordination.
- Synchronizes changed Google Calendar event data
- Highlights changes relevant to deployment planning
- Creates a repeatable review point for release coordination
Setup

- 1Connect CircleCI and Google Calendar once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to sync calendar events and summarize changes relevant to the deployment plans you specify.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real calendar sync.
Questions about this workflow
Is this a live notification for every change?
No. This runs on the schedule you choose. Google Calendar's sync action supports full syncs and incremental syncs when a valid sync token is provided.
Does this sync CircleCI pipeline data?
No. The action synchronizes Google Calendar events, and CircleCI exposes no trigger events here.
