Notis

Automatically notify your team when scheduling meetings

Schedule a team meeting and Notis emails your team immediately with the details, agenda, and join link. No one misses it because it's buried in invites.

Trigger

Event Created

Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.

Action

Send Email

Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.

Why this helps

You schedule a team meeting, but the calendar invite gets lost in everyone's inboxes. Attendance is low, and you waste time reminding people.

  • Boost attendance by emailing your team instead of relying on calendar invites alone
  • Reduce no-shows by highlighting key meeting details in email, not buried in Outlook
  • Save reminder effort by automating the announcement instead of messaging people individually

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar and Gmail to Notis
  • 2Tell Notis 'When I create a team meeting, email the team with the agenda and join link'
  • 3Select the trigger: Event Created
  • 4Customize team identification (e.g., 'emails ending in @company.com' or a specific team list)
  • 5Test by creating a team calendar event and verifying your team gets the notification email

Questions about this workflow

What if team members don't need another email?

You can set conditions: 'Only email if there are 5+ people invited' or 'Skip for recurring standup meetings.' Keep the automation focused on high-value meetings.

Can I customize the team list?

Yes. Define which emails get notifications: 'Email @company.com team members,' 'Email my direct reports,' or 'Email this specific distribution list.'

What's the difference between the calendar invite and the email?

Calendar invites can get lost in the noise. Email is more visible. You're using email to make sure your team prioritizes the meeting.
