New Spreadsheet, Calendar Notified Instantly

Create a new spreadsheet for a project. Notis automatically adds a calendar event so you remember to populate it, share it, or review it by a deadline.

Trigger

New Spreadsheet Created

Triggers when a new Google Spreadsheet is created. This trigger monitors Google Spreadsheets and fires when new spreadsheets are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently detect newly created spreadsheets.

Action

Create Event

Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.

Why this helps

Founders create spreadsheets but forget to add review dates to their calendars, leading to unstructured projects and forgotten initialization tasks.

  • New projects automatically appear on your calendar
  • Ensures new spreadsheets are initialized with deadlines
  • Provides visibility into all active projects
  • Reduces friction in project startup

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your integrations to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When I create a new spreadsheet, add a calendar event called "[Spreadsheet Name] - Review & Setup" for tomorrow.'
  • 3Select 'New Spreadsheet Created' as your trigger.
  • 4Test by creating a new spreadsheet and checking if the event appears on your calendar.

Questions about this workflow

Can I customize what the calendar event says?

Absolutely. You can include the spreadsheet name, set a specific time, or add instructions in the event description.

Will this trigger for every spreadsheet I create, even personal ones?

By default, yes. You can refine the trigger to exclude certain folders or templates if you want more control.

Can I set a specific deadline date instead of 'tomorrow'?

Yes. Tell Notis when you want the event: 'in one week,' 'this Friday,' or a specific date.
