Review upcoming availability on a schedule
Let Notis check selected calendars at a recurring time and surface available slots for the planning window you specify.
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
Availability checks get pushed aside until someone needs a meeting time immediately.
- Keep a regular view of available time
- Check selected calendars within a defined planning window
- Make meeting planning easier to pick up

- 1Connect Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find free slots on the specified calendars for the upcoming planning window.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and select a run report destination.
- 5Test with one real example using an ordered time range.
