  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for event text collection.
  • 3Tell Notis which page and visible text to select and copy when a new event is created.
  • 4Pick Event Created as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real event and a page whose relevant text is selectable.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow choose which text to copy?

Describe the text or section to select in the prompt. If the page does not expose selectable text, the action may not work as expected.

Does this save the text into the calendar event?

The action copies selected text to the clipboard. Tell Notis how you want the copied content handled in the rest of the workflow.
