Give new calendar commitments a follow-through cue
When a commitment enters your calendar, create a Slack reminder that helps you prepare or make room for it.
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
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
New commitments can be accepted quickly without leaving time to prepare or complete the work they require.
- Create a preparation cue for newly scheduled events.
- Keep calendar commitments connected to the workday.
- Reduce the chance of realizing too late that preparation is needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which new events need a Slack reminder and what it should prompt.
- 3Pick Event Created as the trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test by creating one real calendar event.
