- Retrieve the chosen character's public details with one automation.
- Reduce the chance that useful roleplay preparation slips through the cracks.

- 1Connect Google Calendar and Chatfai once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve a public Chatfai character by the ID you provide when a new event is created.
- 4Pick Event Created as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real new calendar event and a valid public character ID.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a Chatfai session for every new event?
No. It only retrieves details for the public character whose ID you specify.
Does the trigger provide all event details?
The Event Created trigger returns the event ID, summary, start and end times, and organizer information. It may not include every detail you need.
Can I have Notis choose a character based on the event?
Only if your instruction gives Notis a clear selection rule and the available event data supports it. Otherwise, specify the character ID directly.
