Put the next meeting where your team will see it
When a calendar event is close, give the team one timely reminder in Discord so nobody has to keep checking the schedule.
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
Post message to channel
Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.
Why this helps
People miss meeting starts when calendar alerts get buried across devices and channels.
- Reduce missed meeting starts and last-minute scrambling.
- Keep event context and available join links in a team channel.
- Avoid manually copying reminders from the calendar.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis: Post a concise reminder in my Discord channel when a Google Calendar event is starting soon, including its summary, time remaining, and join link when available.
- 4Pick the Event Starting Soon trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming event and confirm the Discord message is useful.

Discordbot actions

Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
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.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Calendar Event Changes
**SOON TO BE DEPRECATED** - Use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger) instead. Real-time webhook trigger for calendar event changes. Returns event metadata only. For full event data, use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger).
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
