Find calendar events discussed in Discord threads

When a new thread starts around a meeting, let Notis look for the matching event in Google Calendar.

Trigger

New Thread Created

Triggered when a new thread is created in a Discord channel within a monitored server.

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

Meeting details and the calendar event can drift apart when follow-up conversation moves into a Discord thread.

  • Search for an event using the thread's actual details.
  • Bring the calendar lookup into the discussion context.
  • Surface when the thread does not provide enough identifying information.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Discord and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to search Google Calendar for the event discussed in a new thread, using only details present in the thread and report ambiguity when multiple events match.
  • 4Pick New Thread Created as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real thread that refers to a calendar event.

Questions about this workflow

Does this change the event?

No. Find event searches the calendar and returns matches; it does not update them.

What if several events match?

The instruction should present the possible matches for a person to review rather than choose arbitrarily.
