Review monitor coverage for a newly booked event

When an operations discussion lands on your calendar, get a quick inventory of Better Stack monitors to review.

Trigger

Event Created

Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.

Action

List Monitors

Tool to list all monitors. use when you need to retrieve existing uptime monitors with optional filtering by url or name and pagination.

Why this helps

A new operational meeting appears, but checking which monitors exist is a separate task that can get forgotten.

  • Pairs a new calendar event with a monitor inventory lookup
  • Makes a useful planning prompt visible in the run report
  • Reduces the need to switch apps to inspect monitors

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 monitor review.
  • 3Tell Notis to list Better Stack monitors when a new calendar event is created and include the event summary in the report.
  • 4Pick Event Created as the trigger and select a run report channel.
  • 5Test with one real created event and review the resulting report.
