- Keeps the schedule lookup tied to the calendar event

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Better Stack on-call schedules when a calendar event is starting soon and include the event summary in the run report.
- 4Pick Event Starting Soon as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming event and confirm the report is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assign an on-call person to the meeting?
No. It retrieves the configured Better Stack on-call schedules. It does not assign people or change a schedule.
Can Notis filter for incident review meetings?
Describe the kind of event you care about in the instruction. The trigger itself is Event Starting Soon, and the available event data may not identify meeting type reliably.
