Trigger

- 3Choose New Calendar Event as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real event and verify the formatting makes the intended status clearer.
Questions about this workflow
Can it know whether a meeting needs preparation?
Tell Notis the criteria or use a preparation status already recorded in your sheet. It should not guess missing status.
Will this create a new planning sheet?
No. This action formats a range in an existing worksheet.
