Find room for focused work on your calendar
See whether the month has open blocks that match the length and hours you set for focused 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
A calendar full of meetings can leave no visible time for sustained work unless you check deliberately.
- Search for openings that meet a block length you choose.
- Review availability before planning work.
- Keep the focus-time threshold under your control.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: find free slots in the next month that meet your minimum focus block length and preferred hours, then report them.
- 4Pick the Notis cron trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example from your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
Does it reserve the focus time?
No. It finds suitable openings and reports them; it does not create an event.
Can it apply my work hours automatically?
Include your preferred hours in the instruction so the search uses the window you want.
