Pull up references before the meeting starts
Use the minutes before a call to review relevant documents instead of hunting through your index.
Trigger
Event Starting Soon
Trigger when a calendar event is within the configured time before it starts.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
When a meeting is about to start, there is little time to search across documents and reconstruct the context.
- Search close to the meeting start time.
- Spend less time locating relevant documents.
- Use the returned event details to guide the search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: search Elasticsearch for reference documents related to each event that is starting soon.
- 4Pick the Google Calendar Event Starting Soon trigger, set its available timing, and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming event and review the search results.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose how soon before an event it runs?
The Event Starting Soon trigger is configured for a number of minutes before the event starts.
Will it find every relevant document?
It can query an index based on event details, but relevance depends on the available document content and search criteria.
