- Keep event communication lists distinct.
- Reduce repetitive setup between your calendar and email platform.

- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create an EmailOctopus list named after each new calendar event.
- 4Choose the Google Calendar Event Created trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real event and review the created list.
