Find a workable slot for the next Ascora job
See free time options around the job's required window without opening calendars one by one.
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 a time that works can mean switching between job details and several calendars.
- Search availability across specified calendars.
- Use a job's stated window to narrow the search.
- Get options to review before assigning or confirming work.
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 read the Ascora job's time window and find free calendar slots for the relevant calendars.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and report channel, then test with one real job that has a time window.
- 4Review the returned options and make the scheduling decision in your normal Ascora process.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis assign the job to a staff member?
No. This workflow searches calendar availability and returns options. Assigning field staff is outside the listed Google Calendar action.
What information does the job need?
It needs a time window to search. If Ascora does not provide one, Notis should ask for it or report that availability cannot be checked.
