- 1Connect Abstract and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to validate the requester's email with Abstract, then check free or busy availability for the requested calendar in Cal.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real meeting request that includes an accessible calendar.
