Find available calendar time around a booking request
Ask Notis to check availability around the appointment window and summarize the free time it finds.
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 open time across a busy calendar can take several searches and interruptions.
- Review available time without manually scanning the calendar.
- Use the requested appointment window as the availability check range.
- Receive a concise report to support the scheduling decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appointo and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check Google Calendar free slots in the date range from each Appointo request and report the available times.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes a valid time range.
Questions about this workflow
Will this book one of the free slots?
No. It finds and reports free slots. The prompt should not imply that it confirms the Appointo booking or creates an event.
What is needed for the availability check?
A valid start and end time range, with the start earlier than the end. The Appointo request should provide the range to check.
Can it check more than one calendar?
The action supports specified calendars. Ask Notis to use the calendars you want included, and ensure the connected account can access them.
