- Keeps a monitor check connected to the changed plan
- Helps surface uptime details in the run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the monitor check.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve availability for the specified Better Stack monitor when an existing calendar event changes.
- 4Pick Event Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event update and confirm the monitor identifier is available in your instruction.
Questions about this workflow
Can this choose a monitor from the changed fields automatically?
Only if the event data and your instruction identify the monitor reliably. The action requires a specific monitor.
Does the lookup cover a custom date range?
The action supports an optional date range. Specify the desired range in your instruction when needed.
