Why this helps
You're deep in work when a meeting suddenly starts. You miss it, or you're late, and now you're spending mental energy catching up instead of working on what matters.
- Never miss a meeting because you lost track of time
- Reduce context-switching by getting alerts in your messaging app
- Give yourself a few minutes to mentally prepare and find the meeting link
- Stop the anxiety of checking the calendar every hour
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Google Calendar to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2In Notis, create a new automation with the prompt: "Send me a Telegram message 5 minutes before each calendar event starts."
- 3Pick the trigger: "Event Starting Soon" from Google Calendar.
- 4Choose Telegram as your notification channel.
- 5Test with a calendar event you'll schedule in the next 30 minutes.
Questions about this workflow
How many minutes before does the reminder fire?
You can customize this in your automation prompt. Tell Notis "Send me a reminder 10 minutes before" or "15 minutes before"—whatever works for your workflow.
Will I get a reminder for every single event?
You can refine the automation to skip certain types of events. For example, "Send reminders for all events except personal time blocks" keeps the noise down.
What if I'm already in a meeting?
The message shows the event name, time, and attendees. You can read it in the background and ignore it if you're already present.
