Check open time before proposing a deal meeting

Ask Notis to check availability for a deal conversation so you can suggest a time with less back and forth.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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

Proposing a meeting before checking calendars creates avoidable scheduling loops.

  • Check free slots across calendars you specify.
  • Keep the requested meeting window tied to its Affinity context.
  • Get options before proposing a time.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinity and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the availability check.
  • 3Tell Notis which Affinity deal or contact the request concerns and ask it to find free slots in the date range you provide.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real date range and the calendars to check.

Questions about this workflow

Does this book a meeting automatically?

No. It finds free slots. Use a separate calendar creation request after choosing a time.

What time range should I provide?

Provide a time range where the start precedes the end. The action can default to the current UTC day if the bounds are omitted, so explicit bounds are clearer.
