Keep event terminology clear as plans change
When event details are edited, use the updated information to revisit the term you have asked Notis to explain.
Trigger
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
Action
Get Word Definition V2
Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.
Why this helps
Changed notes can add terminology you have not seen, leaving you to discover it only when the event is underway.
- Catch a specified term in changed event details.
- Get definitions and phonetics through one focused action.
- Reduce repeated manual checks after calendar edits.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Dictionary API once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction which term to find in updated event details and retrieve its definition with Dictionary API.
- 4Pick Event Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event update containing the term.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger include the full updated event?
Event Updated returns the event ID, change type, and specific fields changed with previous and new values. Instruct Notis to use the available updated information.
Can it look up an arbitrary word instead of one in the event?
Yes. Specify the word directly in your instruction; the action retrieves lexical data for that word.
