Check your calendar before committing to source review
Send a source and a time window to Notis. It can check for matching calendar events so you can see what is already planned before booking review time.
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
Choosing a research time without checking existing commitments can create conflicts and another task to reschedule.
- See relevant existing events for the requested time window.
- Keep the Archive.org item reference attached to the planning request.
- Make a scheduling decision with fewer context switches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Archive.org and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for source review planning.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the submitted source and find calendar events in the requested time window, then report the results.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real source and a time window where you have calendar events.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow book a time?
No. It uses Find event to look for calendar events in the supplied time window and reports the results; it does not create a calendar event.
What should the request include?
Include an Archive.org item reference and a time window. Find event requires a valid time range when one is specified.
