Action

Why this helps
A canceled event may no longer be visible in the same way, making it easy to forget that someone still needs a mailed notice.
- Use cancellation or deletion as the cue for a paper notice.
- Include available event summary and cancellation timestamp in the decision.
- Use a prepared PDF and recipient information you confirm.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Docupost once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to send your cancellation notice PDF to the confirmed recipient when the relevant event is canceled or deleted.
- 4Pick the Event Canceled or Deleted trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real cancellation example and verify the notice and postal details.
