Check an emailed calendar feed before relying on it
Have Notis check an ICS feed URL from a new email for accessibility and calendar data integrity, then review the result.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Check ics feed calendar endpoint
Checks an ics feed url (expected as a query parameter) to verify its validity, accessibility, and icalendar data integrity.
Why this helps
A calendar feed can appear usable in an email while containing an inaccessible URL or invalid data.
- Check feed accessibility and iCalendar integrity.
- Prompt a useful validation when a feed link arrives.
- Avoid manual trial and error with feed URLs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe that an incoming email containing an ICS feed URL should prompt a Cal feed check.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real email containing an ICS URL and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does it subscribe to the feed?
No. The action checks the provided URL for validity, access, and iCalendar integrity.
What if the email has no feed URL?
The check requires a URL. The workflow should report that the needed URL was not found rather than inventing one.
