Custom Integrations: Webhook-Triggered Calendar Events
When external tools send webhooks to Notis, they automatically create calendar events. Extend your workflow beyond Linear to any webhook-enabled service.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Work arrives from many sources (Slack, email, custom apps), but only Linear triggers are wired to calendar. External work requests don't surface until they're forgotten.
- Enables calendar integration with any tool that supports webhooks
- Brings external work requests into your calendar workflow
- Supports custom business logic and non-standard integrations
- Centralizes work visibility across your entire ecosystem
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Webhook to Calendar'.
- 3Set the prompt: 'When a webhook is received with event data, extract the event title, date, and description and create a calendar event.'
- 4Select trigger: 'Notis Webhook' (Notis will provide you a unique webhook URL).
- 5Copy the webhook URL from Notis and configure your external tool to send HTTP POST requests to it with JSON event data (title, date, time, etc.).
- 6Test by sending a webhook from your external tool—the calendar event should appear.
Questions about this workflow
What format should my webhook JSON follow?
Include at least title and date. Notis can parse flexible JSON structures, but clearer schemas (with eventName, eventDate, description) work best. Notis will ask for clarification if needed.
Can I filter or transform webhook data before creating calendar events?
Yes. In your prompt, you can specify transformations: 'Only create events for high-priority webhooks' or 'Add a prefix to all event titles'.
What if the webhook data is malformed?
Notis will log the error and report it to your notification channel. You'll need to fix the webhook format from the external tool.
