Ground relative scheduling requests in current time
Give a time-sensitive Cody request a reliable current-time reference before working out dates.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get current date and time
Get the current date and time for a specific time zone.
Why this helps
Relative phrases such as tomorrow or next week can be misread when the timezone or current date is unclear.
- Get a current time reference with a timezone offset.
- Reduce ambiguity in relative date requests.
- Avoid assuming a user's local timezone.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cody and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for time grounding.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current date and time using the offset supplied in the request, then use that result to interpret relative dates.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real request with the desired timezone offset to test it.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action create an event?
No. It retrieves the current date and time to support a scheduling decision.
Why include a timezone offset?
The action allows a specific offset. Supplying the intended offset helps interpret relative date language consistently.
Can it determine the user's timezone automatically?
Do not assume that. Supply the timezone offset or obtain the relevant timezone from a supported source.
