See when your Marvin work could fit
Make planning easier by checking your calendar before choosing when to work on a task.
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
Choosing a task time without checking existing commitments can lead to overbooked days and repeated replanning.
- See open time before committing to a task.
- Reduce calendar conflicts during planning.
- Get a clear availability summary for a chosen planning window.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amazing Marvin and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to check free slots in Google Calendar for the planning window and summarize which slots could fit Marvin tasks.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real planning window and review the availability summary.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create events for tasks?
No. It finds free slots and reports them. Use a separate event-creation workflow if you want Notis to book a slot.
What time range does it check?
Specify the planning window in the instruction. The free-slot action requires the start of the window to precede its end.
