Check whether the prospect meeting already exists
A quick search can catch an existing booking before a new request creates confusion.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Repeated scheduling requests and duplicate records can lead to two calendar events for the same conversation.
- Search events using contact or company details and a supplied window.
- Make duplicate risk visible before a new event is created.
- Keep ambiguous candidate matches available for human review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clay and Google Calendar once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe how to check for an existing prospect meeting.
- 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger for the Clay scheduling request.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real request and its expected date range.
Questions about this workflow
Can it reliably detect every duplicate?
No. Search depends on the event text and date window available. Use enough identifying context and review uncertain matches.
Will it block event creation?
This workflow reports search results. Your broader process should use that result before creating an event.
