Reserve Outlook time for Gmail commitments
Turn a promise you send into time you can actually use to fulfill it. Notis recognizes clear Gmail commitments and reserves an Outlook work block before delivery is due.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Create Calendar Event
Creates a new outlook calendar event, ensuring `start datetime` is chronologically before `end datetime`.
Why this helps
A commitment is easy to type in an email and hard to remember once the sent message leaves the active inbox.
- Connects promises to reserved execution time
- Keeps the commitment visible outside email
- Reduces accidental overpromising
