Post a meeting brief when Outlook creates an event

Give everyone the context they need before the meeting starts.

Trigger

New Calendar Event

Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.

Action

Post message to channel

Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.

Why this helps

Meeting preparation is scattered across calendar descriptions and old email threads.

  • Improve meeting readiness
  • Highlight preparation tasks
  • Keep context in the team channel

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Discordbot in Notis once.
  • 2Create a meeting brief automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to summarize the event description and relevant available context into agenda, attendees, decisions needed, and preparation tasks.
  • 4Pick New Calendar Event as the trigger and choose the Discord channel for briefs.
  • 5Test it with one real meeting.

Questions about this workflow

Can it include preparation tasks?

Yes. Ask Notis to extract explicit tasks and owners from the event context.

Does it update the calendar?

No. It posts the brief in Discord.
