Notis

Get a Weekly Availability Summary

Every Friday at 4pm, Notis analyzes your calendar for the coming week and sends you a free/busy summary. You know exactly how much capacity you have before people start booking your time.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Query Free/Busy Information

Returns free/busy information for a set of calendars.

Why this helps

Monday morning arrives and you realize your week is already fully booked with meetings. You don't have a realistic view of your availability until it's too late to plan.

  • Start your week knowing how much time you actually have
  • Plan your workload based on real availability, not wishful thinking
  • Identify days where you can take on more work or offer team help
  • Automate a weekly planning ritual

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'Every Friday at 4pm, analyze my calendar for the following week and send me a free/busy summary.'
  • 3Specify which times to exclude (lunch, deep work blocks, etc.).
  • 4Choose how to receive the report (email, Slack, or other channel).
  • 5Test by running it manually or waiting for Friday to verify the format.

Questions about this workflow

Can I get the report on a different day?

Absolutely. Tell Notis to run on Thursday, Sunday, or any day you prefer.

Will it include personal calendar events?

Only if you want it to. You can tell Notis which calendars to include or exclude.

What format is the summary in?

Notis sends a human-readable summary with available hours per day and busiest times. You can ask for a different format if needed.
