Check calendar sync when new planning work arrives
When a new plan starts taking shape, verify that the calendar connection behind your scheduling is working.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Check gcal synchronization status
Call this read-only action to verify the connection and synchronization status of a user's google calendar integration with cal.
Why this helps
Teams may plan from a calendar view that has stopped syncing without anyone noticing.
- Check calendar sync as new planning work begins.
- Catch a disconnected integration before relying on it.
- Get a simple status report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to check Google Calendar synchronization status when a new planning file is created and report the result.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file creation and review the sync status report.
Questions about this workflow
Will this reconnect Google Calendar?
No. It only checks synchronization status.
Does it inspect the new file's contents?
The workflow can use available file context, but the selected Cal action only checks sync status.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Cal. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Cal actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add member to team
Adds a new member to a specified team within an organization by creating a team membership.
Webhook trigger

Add organization attribute option

Delete oauth client webhook

File Created

Cancel booking via uid
Cancels an existing and active cal.com booking using its unique identifier (uid).
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Check calendar availability
Retrieves free/busy availability for a specified calendar to aid scheduling without revealing event details; requires an existing, accessible calendar, noting that data granularity can vary.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Check gcal synchronization status
