Parse Emails Into Calendar Events Instantly
When someone sends you an email like 'Let's meet Thursday at 2pm', Notis reads that, creates the calendar event, and confirms it—all without you lifting a finger. Your calendar stays current as your inbox fills up.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
You receive emails with meeting times buried in the text. You have to manually parse the date, time, and attendees, then create the event. Easy to miss details or mix up times.
- Turn informal meeting emails into calendar events instantly
- No more manually typing dates and times
- Notis handles natural language like 'next Tuesday' or 'in two weeks'
- Reduces meeting-related emails getting lost

- 1Connect Gmail and Google Calendar integrations to Notis
- 2Create automation with prompt: 'When I receive an email, parse any meeting time mentioned in the text and create a calendar event for it'
- 3Choose 'New Email Received' as trigger and select your notification channel
- 4Test by sending yourself an email like 'Meeting tomorrow at 3pm' and watch Notis create the event
Questions about this workflow
What if the email mentions multiple possible meeting times?
Notis asks you to confirm which time you prefer before creating the event, so nothing gets scheduled incorrectly.
Does this work with vague language like 'sometime next week'?
Yes, but Notis will ask you to clarify the exact time since vague language can't be reliably calendared.
Can it pull attendee names from the email?
Yes, Notis looks for names and email addresses in the message and adds them as attendees automatically.
