Verify a proposed time before you offer it
Have Notis check a time mentioned in a WhatsApp conversation against Cal free/busy availability before you respond.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check calendar availability
Retrieves free/busy availability for a specified calendar to aid scheduling without revealing event details; requires an existing, accessible calendar, noting that data granularity can vary.
Why this helps
Offering a time before checking the calendar can create avoidable rescheduling and extra messages.
- Check requested times against current free/busy data.
- Reduce avoidable scheduling back and forth.
- Keep the availability result ready before writing your reply.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for proposed-time checks.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect the relevant 2chat context, identify the proposed meeting time and accessible Cal calendar, and report whether free/busy data indicates availability.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the calendar and time were interpreted correctly.
Questions about this workflow
Will this reserve the time?
No. It checks availability only and does not create or hold a booking.
What if the message does not specify a timezone?
The workflow should flag the missing timezone rather than assume one.
