Find a meeting time without scanning calendars
Have Notis check specified calendars for open slots that fit the request and time range recorded in AnyDB.
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
Finding a time means checking calendars one by one and keeping the request details in mind.
- Check availability across specified calendars
- Use the requested date range as context
- Get event details alongside busy intervals
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to read the meeting request, check specified calendars and a defined time range, and report available slots.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the returned slots.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if the request has no time range?
Find free slots defaults to the current UTC day when time min and time max are omitted. Include a clear range in your instruction for more useful results.
Does finding a slot create an event?
No. This action finds availability and reports slots. Use a separate event creation workflow after choosing a time.
