Turn Recurring Meetings Into Calendar Series Instantly
Someone emails 'Let's have a weekly sync every Monday at 2pm starting next week'. Notis parses that, creates a recurring calendar event series, and sends invites. No manual setup needed. Recurring commitments materialize automatically.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
You get an email proposing a recurring meeting, but creating a calendar series requires manual setup. You either leave it as a one-off or delay setting it up, losing the convenience.
- Recurring meetings get scheduled instantly without manual setup
- Reduces friction when agreeing to ongoing commitments
- All instances sync automatically if the schedule changes
- Keep recurring commitments organized in calendar
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Google Calendar to Notis
- 2Create automation: 'When I receive an email proposing a recurring meeting like 'weekly' or 'monthly', create a full calendar event series with all instances'
- 3Set trigger to 'New Email Received' and choose your channel
- 4Test by receiving an email saying 'Weekly syncs on Tuesdays at 10am'—Notis creates the series
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis handle complex recurrence patterns?
Yes—'every other week', 'monthly on the third Friday', 'quarterly'—Notis parses these correctly.
How many instances does Notis create?
Customize it—one year of events is typical, but you can choose different ranges.
What if the email doesn't mention a specific end date?
Notis uses a default like 'ongoing indefinitely' and you can adjust it later in calendar settings.
