Action
Create Profile Schedule
Tool to create a new schedule within a specific profile. Use after gathering profile_id and schedule details.
Why this helps
Schedule requests can get lost between the inbox and the profile settings where the time based policy needs to be created.
- Reduce manual transcription from email into profile settings.
- Keep schedule creation tied to a clear request.
- Get a report that makes the created schedule easy to verify.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a schedule only when the email identifies the profile and supplies required schedule details, then report missing information or the result.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email containing complete schedule details.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create a schedule from a vague request like 'set quiet hours'?
No. The profile and required schedule details need to be clear. Instruct Notis to report what is missing rather than invent a schedule.
Does this update an existing schedule?
No. This workflow creates a new profile schedule. Existing schedule changes use the update schedule action.
