Keep calendar context with renamed files
A renamed or moved document can be hard to connect with its original work. Let Notis search your calendar for matching context and report what it finds.
Trigger
Item Moved or Renamed
Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Changing a file path or name can break the mental link between a document and the meeting or deadline where it matters.
- Surface related calendar entries after a file changes location or name.
- Reduce manual searching across calendar history.
- Get a concise report of matching events.
