Check calendar availability from an email request
See whether a requested time works while the meeting request is still in your inbox.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
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
Checking a calendar manually for every meeting request interrupts inbox work and makes it easy to miss a conflict.
- Reduce app switching when meeting requests arrive.
- Check free and busy times without exposing event details.
- Get a run report with the availability result.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent Mail and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel to create it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check the relevant Cal calendar's availability for the time range and duration requested in each email.
- 4Choose New Email Received as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that includes a calendar and a requested time range.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow book the meeting?
No. It checks free and busy availability only. You can use the result to decide what to offer or book separately.
What if the email does not include a time range?
The instruction can ask Notis to report that the request needs more detail. Availability still requires a usable calendar and time range.
