Find a workable slot for weather-dependent tasks
See open time and current conditions together before choosing when to do outdoor work.
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
Finding free time is only part of planning when the task depends on current weather.
- Include availability in a weather review
- Focus on a defined time range and calendar
- Reduce back-and-forth between schedule and weather
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ambient Weather and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation.
- 3Tell Notis which calendars and time range to check for free slots and how to consider current conditions for your task.
- 4Choose a schedule trigger and run report channel.
- 5Test with a real availability search and weather check.
Questions about this workflow
Can it know the weather for a future slot?
Forecast access is not specified. It can use current conditions, which may not represent conditions during a future slot.
Does it book the slot?
This workflow finds free time. If you want an event created, describe that separately and provide the needed event details.
