- Review public information before the meeting begins.
- Reduce last-minute searching across tabs.
- Use one configured Actor to collect relevant results.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the upcoming event's available details as context for a configured Apify Actor, then return the Actor's dataset items as a meeting brief.
- 4Pick Event Starting Soon as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming event and confirm the returned items are useful.
Questions about this workflow
What event information can Notis use?
The trigger provides event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available. Tell Notis which available details should guide the configured Actor.
Do I need an Apify Actor already?
Yes. Configure the Actor for the kind of public research you want, and tell Notis which Actor to run.
Will this guarantee complete or current information?
No. Results depend on the Actor, its input, and the public sources it can access. Review the returned items before relying on them.
