- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review available Cloudflare DNS maintenance details and create a calendar block when a planned change and time are provided.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real planned change and verify the event uses its supplied timing.
Questions about this workflow
Does Cloudflare send a DNS change trigger to this workflow?
No. The workflow uses a recurring Notis schedule because no Cloudflare trigger events are listed.
Can Notis invent a maintenance window if none is provided?
No. The schedule and change window must be supplied or available in connected app data. If the timing is missing, ask Notis to report that it needs timing instead of creating an event.
What action creates the event?
Google Calendar Create Event creates an event using start and end times. Notis needs suitable timing and write access to the calendar.
