Find open time around your shifts
See where time is actually available in the week, using your shift details and calendar availability together.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find free slots
Finds free/busy time slots in google calendars for specified calendars within a defined time range (defaults to the current day utc if `time min`/`time max` are omitted), enhancing busy intervals with event details; `time min` must precede `time max` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Planning appointments or focused work around shifts is harder when you have to mentally combine a rota with a separate calendar.
- Search for open calendar slots in a defined time range.
- Plan around shift times you supply to Notis.
- Reduce manual availability checks across apps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or describe the desired result to Notis in your preferred channel.
- 3Ask Notis to find free slots in a defined range using the shift times you supply as planning context.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real planning window and verify that its start precedes its end.
Questions about this workflow
Does free-slot search automatically import my 7shifts rota?
No 7shifts triggers are available in this workflow package. Supply the shift times to Notis as planning context.
What time range should I provide?
Set a start and end for the period you want to check. The time minimum must precede the time maximum.
Will the workflow book a suggested slot?
No. It searches calendar availability and reports free slots; it does not create a booking.
