Rapidly Create Calendar Events from External Systems
When external systems send webhook requests, Notis instantly parses the data and creates calendar events using natural language, no field mapping required.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Founders using external tools miss calendar integration, forcing them to manually add events or lose important scheduling information.
- Instantly create calendar events from webhook data without manual entry
- Use natural language to parse unstructured event information
- Connect any custom or niche tool to your calendar
- Eliminate manual event entry from external systems
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar in Notis Integrations.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a webhook request arrives with event information, quickly create a calendar event using the data provided.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Notis Webhook' and copy your unique webhook URL.
- 4Configure your external system to send POST requests with event text (e.g., 'Team standup 2 PM Friday').
- 5Test by sending a webhook and verify the calendar event appears with parsed date/time.
Questions about this workflow
What format should webhook payloads use?
Notis can parse various formats: plain text descriptions, JSON, or structured data. Describe your format in the automation prompt.
How accurate is natural language parsing for dates and times?
Very accurate for natural language like 'next Tuesday at 2 PM' or 'Friday morning.' Ambiguous dates may need clarification.
Can I add attendees through webhooks?
Quick add events don't directly support attendee addition. Use the standard 'Create Event' action if you need to add multiple attendees.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Google Calendar. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Google Calendar actions
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Insert Calendar into List
Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Update Calendar List Entry
Updates an existing entry on the user\'s calendar list.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Delete Calendar
Deletes a secondary calendar. use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.
Update Calendar
Updates metadata for a calendar.
Clear Calendar
Clears a primary calendar. this operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.
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.
