Remember to follow up with new contacts
A new contact is easy to add and easy to forget. Notis can put a follow-up reminder on Google Calendar so the next step stays visible.
Trigger
New Contact Added
Triggered when a new contact is added in the Outlook contacts.
Action
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.
Why this helps
You add a contact after a conversation, then lose track of when you planned to reconnect.
- Make follow-up visible on your calendar.
- Use a clear user-supplied timing rule for the reminder.
- Keep relationship next steps from getting lost among contacts.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis what follow-up date rule to use for a new contact, and to report if the contact lacks the information needed for a useful reminder.
- 4Pick the New Contact Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real contact and verify the reminder date and event.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know when I want to follow up?
Only if you provide a timing rule or the contact contains a usable date. Include that rule in the prompt and define what to do when information is missing.
Does this send the follow-up message?
No. It creates a calendar event as a reminder. You handle the follow-up.
