Auto-block calendar time the moment you add a deadline to Airtable
Deadlines in Airtable shouldn't stay invisible in your calendar. Notis creates dedicated, blocked time slots for every deadline, making your workload visible and protecting your focus.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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
You mark deadlines in Airtable but forget to block calendar time, then over-schedule yourself and miss the target.
- See all deadlines as real calendar blocks, not just records
- Stop over-committing during crunch periods
- Get automatic reminders before deadlines
- Eliminate the mental math of availability
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Airtable and Google Calendar are connected to Notis.
- 2In the portal, create an automation: 'When I add a deadline to my Airtable, create a full-day calendar block with the deadline date and mark it as busy.'
- 3Choose 'Webhook' to let Notis listen for new Airtable entries.
- 4Set Slack or email notifications so you see each block created.
- 5Add one test deadline and confirm it appears as a locked calendar block.
Questions about this workflow
Should I make these all-day events or time-specific?
That's up to you. Tell Notis your preference: 'Make them all-day blocks' or 'Set them for 9am-5pm' or 'Use the estimated hours I put in Airtable.'
Can I exclude weekends or holidays?
Yes. Notis can skip weekends or holidays if you mention that in your automation prompt.
What if a deadline changes in Airtable?
Right now Notis creates a new event each time. You can manually delete the old one or ask Notis to build a smarter sync that updates existing events.
