Check availability before confirming Ascora work
Get a quick view of calendar commitments around a proposed job time before you confirm it.
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
Confirming a job without checking existing commitments can create avoidable schedule conflicts.
- Review calendar commitments around a proposed time.
- Catch potential conflicts before confirming a job.
- Keep the availability check close to the job request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ascora and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis to look up the proposed Ascora job time and find calendar events in that time range.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel, then test with one real proposed job.
- 4Use the result to review conflicts before confirming the job in Ascora.
