Find the follow-up already on your calendar
Give Notis the document context and date range, and it can look for the related calendar event.
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
When a follow-up may already be scheduled, checking by hand across calendar entries adds friction and uncertainty.
- Search by the document or follow-up wording supplied in the request.
- Limit the search to a useful time range.
- Reduce duplicate scheduling caused by overlooking an existing event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudlayer and Google Calendar in the Notis portal once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find a matching Google Calendar event using the query and time range provided with the Cloudlayer document workflow request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and run report destination, then test with one real follow-up query and valid time range.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a follow-up if none is found?
No. This workflow searches for an event and reports the result. Creating a new event would require a separate automation action.
Why include both query text and a time range?
The query helps identify related event text, and the range narrows the search. If both range limits are supplied, the start must not be after the end.
