Turn meeting notes into action items automatically
New meeting notes landed. Notis schedules follow-up time right away—so action items don't disappear into your docs.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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
Meeting notes accumulate in Drive, but you don't carve out time to review them and extract action items, so follow-ups slip.
- Follow-up time auto-scheduled immediately after notes are created
- Action items stay top-of-mind
- Reduces likelihood of dropped follow-ups
- Enforces a pattern of reviewing meetings
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Google Calendar.
- 2In your Notis portal, create an automation: ask Notis 'When a new file is created in my meeting notes folder, add 30 minutes to my calendar for review tomorrow.'
- 3Select 'File Created' as the trigger and point it to your meeting notes folder.
- 4Set the calendar, time, and duration (e.g., 30 minutes the next business day).
- 5Test with a sample meeting notes file to confirm the follow-up block appears on your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
Can I schedule the follow-up for a specific time or just a date?
Yes, you can specify 'tomorrow at 2pm' or 'next Monday morning'. Notis interprets natural language, so describe exactly when you want to review.
What if I have multiple meetings in a day?
Notis creates a follow-up block for each new notes file. You can batch them or stagger them depending on your preference.
Can I skip the automation for certain meetings?
You can exclude specific folders or files, or manually disable the automation for particular notes if you know they don't need a follow-up.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Google Calendar. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Google Calendar actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Insert Calendar into List
Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Update Calendar List Entry
Updates an existing entry on the user\'s calendar list.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Delete Calendar
Deletes a secondary calendar. use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Update Calendar
Updates metadata for a calendar.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Clear Calendar
Clears a primary calendar. this operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Delete event
Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.
Create a calendar
Creates a new, empty google calendar with the specified title (summary).
