Create a temporary Calendly session from a DM
Special meetings often require extra steps. Notis can prepare a temporary Calendly type when a DM clearly confirms the session details.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create One-Off Event Type
Creates a temporary calendly one-off event type for unique meetings outside regular availability, requiring valid host/co-host uris, a future date/range for `date setting`, and a positive `duration`.
Why this helps
A one-off meeting can sit in limbo while you work out how to offer a booking option outside usual hours.
- Turn a confirmed special request into a temporary booking option.
- Avoid changing your standard event setup for an exception.
- Reduce the number of details you have to hold in mind.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Calendly to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a temporary event type when a DM confirms a unique future session and includes valid hosts, a future date or range, and duration.
- 4Select the Slack direct message trigger and the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real, complete request and inspect the resulting event type.
