Find room for document follow-ups
Ask Notis to check calendar availability on a schedule and report open slots for the follow-ups you need to plan.
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
Even after identifying a document follow-up, finding time for it can take another round of calendar checking.
- See available calendar slots for planning follow-up work.
- Reduce repeated manual availability checks.
- Keep document follow-up planning on a routine.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which calendars and time window to check for free slots for document follow-ups.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with a known calendar and time window.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow create a follow-up event?
No. Find free slots returns availability; it does not itself create a calendar event.
What time range will it check?
The instruction should specify the calendars and time window. If omitted, the action defaults to the current UTC day.
