Start a Bubble workflow as a meeting approaches
Use the time before a meeting to kick off the Bubble process that supports it.
Trigger
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
Action
Trigger Bubble Workflow via GET
Trigger a Bubble API workflow using an HTTP GET request. API workflows are server-side workflows in Bubble that can be triggered externally. Use GET for simple workflows that don't require a request body (parameters passed as query strings). For workflows requiring complex data or file uploads, use the POST version instead. Before using: The workflow must be created in Bubble's workflow editor and marked as "Expose as a public API workflow". The Bubble app must have API access enabled in its subscription.
Why this helps
The small steps before a meeting are easy to miss when you have to remember to start them yourself.
- Start app-side preparation at the right time
- Reduce reliance on remembering a separate manual step
- Pass event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available

- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to call the relevant Bubble API workflow with useful event context when an event is nearing its start.
- 4Pick the Event Starting Soon trigger and configure its available lead time, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming event and review the Bubble workflow result.
