Turn scheduled release work into a CircleCI build
Put the release on the calendar and let Notis kick off its build, so starting the work does not depend on remembering another manual step.
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
Trigger Pipeline
Tool to trigger a new pipeline for the specified project. use when you need to start a build on a branch or tag programmatically.
Why this helps
Release work can be scheduled in Calendar but still fail to reach CI when the founder has to switch apps and trigger the pipeline by hand.
- Start planned build work from a calendar event
- Reduce app switching before a release
- Keep scheduled delivery work moving
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction which newly created calendar events should start a CircleCI pipeline, including the project and branch details Notis needs.
- 4Pick the Event Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event and confirm the expected pipeline starts.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new event start a pipeline?
Describe the events that represent planned build work in your instruction. Notis uses the event data and your prompt to decide whether to act.
What project or branch should I specify?
Include the CircleCI project and branch details in your instruction so Notis knows what pipeline to trigger.
