Notis

Prepare for new calendar events with related records

Use the event title and details to search a chosen index, so useful background is ready before you open another tool.

Trigger

New Calendar Event

Fires when a new calendar event is created.

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

A new meeting often comes with little context, and finding the relevant records can get pushed until the last minute.

  • Surface relevant documents when a new event is created.
  • Get a compact report to review before the meeting.
  • Keep preparation tied to the event details available in Outlook.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3Ask Notis to search your chosen index for records related to each new event and summarize the matches.
  • 4Pick Outlook New Calendar Event as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real calendar event and check the results.

Questions about this workflow

Does it run when an event is edited?

No. This trigger runs when a new calendar event is created. Use Calendar Event Changes if you need runs for updates and deletions too.

Can it add the results to the calendar event?

The available Elasticsearch action searches an index. It does not update Outlook calendar events.
