Actions Overview

Action Layer

What a Rule Can Do

Actions are the result of a matched trigger. PrimeCal lets you update event content, move events, create tasks, send notifications, and call external webhooks from the same rule.

Supported Actions​

Content

Update event title

Rewrite the event title after a trigger matches.

Content

Update event description

Replace or enrich the description field for the event.

Calendar

Move to calendar

Shift the event into another calendar you can access.

Visual

Set event color

Recolor the event to make downstream rules easier to read.

Labels

Add event tag

Add a reusable label to the event for filtering and follow-up rules.

Automation

Send notification

Notify users after the rule executes.

Tasks

Create task

Generate a follow-up task from the matched event.

Integration

Call webhook

Send the rule outcome to an external service — now with a configurable HTTP method and auth, so it can also drive a smart-home device's REST API.

Guardrail

Cancel event

Mark the event as cancelled when the rule needs to stop it.

Routines

Instantiate routine

Start a routine template on demand from any trigger — e.g. a webhook from a smart alarm clock starting Morning Routine. Configured via the Automation API today; see Smart-Home Automation.

Action Limits​

  • You can save up to 5 actions in a single rule.
  • At least one action is required.
  • The editor rejects unsupported actions that are still marked as coming soon.

When To Use Which Action​

  • Use Set Event Color when you want a rule to visually mark an event.
  • Use Move to Calendar when an event should land in a different calendar.
  • Use Create Task when the rule should create a follow-up item for the user.
  • Use Call Webhook when the rule must notify an external system.
