Move an approved Cal booking to confirmed

Have Notis follow through when a clear team decision in Slack approves a pending Cal booking.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Confirm booking by uid

Confirms an existing booking by `bookinguid` if the booking exists and is in a state allowing confirmation (e.g., not already cancelled or confirmed); this finalizes the booking, does not modify its details, and should typically be performed once.

Why this helps

A team can agree to proceed in a channel while the booking remains pending because nobody owns the final click.

  • Closes the gap between team decision and booking status.
  • Keeps a clear approval tied to the relevant discussion.
  • Reduces follow-up reminders for an agreed meeting.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Cal to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to confirm a pending Cal booking when a channel message clearly approves the specific booking.
  • 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
  • 4Test with one real approval message that names or clearly identifies the pending booking.

Questions about this workflow

Will every positive message confirm a booking?

The instruction should require an explicit decision and a clear match to a pending booking.

Can a canceled booking be confirmed?

No. Cal confirms only a booking whose state allows confirmation.
