Decline rejected Cal bookings from a sheet row
Keep rejected requests from lingering in a pending state. Record the decision and booking UID in a new row, and Notis can decline the booking.
Trigger
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
Action
Decline booking with reason
Declines a pending booking using its bookinguid, optionally with a reason; this action is irreversible and applies only to bookings awaiting confirmation.
Why this helps
Rejected requests can remain pending if nobody follows through in Cal after updating the tracking sheet.
- Close the loop after a rejection
- Keep the decision and booking UID together
- Optionally include a reason from your process
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, in the portal or from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to decline only pending bookings whose new row is marked rejected, using the booking UID and the reason if supplied.
- 4Pick the Google Sheets New Rows in Google Sheet trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real rejected request.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decline an already confirmed booking?
This Cal action applies only to bookings awaiting confirmation, so the workflow should target pending bookings.
Do I need to provide a reason?
A reason is optional. Add one to the sheet or your instruction if you want it included.
