Why this helps
Meeting prep gets squeezed out when event details live only in the calendar.
- Give upcoming meetings a place for preparation notes.
- Capture event context when the meeting is created.
- Make prep easier to resume between other tasks.
Setup

- 1Connect Outlook and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what outcome you want from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to create an Airtable preparation record for each new meeting, including event details and any prep checklist you specify.
- 4Select New Calendar Event as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real event and review the prep record.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis write a meeting brief?
It can summarize details available from the event and any information sources you name. Add the questions or preparation checklist you want it to follow.
Can it create records only for meetings with guests?
Describe that condition in your instruction. If guest details are unavailable in the event data, provide another way to identify those meetings.
