Check a proposed meeting time before confirming
Before confirming a prospect meeting, check the proposed time against your calendar and get a clear conflict summary.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
A proposed time can look open in a message but overlap with a commitment already on your calendar.
- Search calendar events around the proposed meeting time.
- Use the prospect context supplied or retrieved from Apollo.
- Get a conflict summary before confirming the time.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apollo and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by describing the outcome, in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check Google Calendar events for the proposed time, use the supplied Apollo prospect details, and report any overlap.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real proposed time that includes the correct date and timezone.
Questions about this workflow
Does this check free time across every calendar?
Ask Notis which calendars to check. The calendars must be accessible to the connected Google Calendar account.
Does this reserve the proposed slot?
No. It searches for events and reports conflicts. Use a separate event creation step after confirming the time.
