Find an open slot before your next Apify run
Check your calendar ahead of planned data collection and get a short list of workable times.
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 run time without checking your calendar can create avoidable conflicts.
- See available calendar time before starting planned collection.
- Reduce clashes with existing commitments.
- Use the scheduled report to decide when to launch the run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apify and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find available calendar slots during the upcoming Apify run window and summarize the options.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real upcoming run window and confirm the availability summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does this launch the Apify Actor?
No. The workflow checks Google Calendar availability and reports the open slots. Launch the Actor separately or through your existing Apify process.
What time range does it check?
Ask Notis to use the run window you provide in the prompt. The free slots action needs a start and end time, and the start must be before the end.
