Find calendar openings for the interviews you need to schedule
Have Notis identify open calendar slots for a defined period, then use those options to move interview scheduling forward.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Searching manually for open time takes focus away from recruiting work and makes it harder to offer timely interview options.
- See potential open slots without scanning every calendar manually.
- Limit scheduling searches to the period you actually need.
- Keep availability review separate from committing to a meeting.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to check free slots on the specified calendars and date range for interview scheduling, reporting the slots without creating events.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scheduling window and verify the reported availability.
Questions about this workflow
Will the automation schedule an interview automatically?
No. The Find free slots action reports availability. A person can use the result to coordinate the interview and create an event separately.
What time range does it check?
The instruction should define the time range. If time minimum and maximum are omitted, the action defaults to the current day in UTC.
Can it know which candidates need interviews in Ashby?
Only if that information is supplied to Notis as part of the workflow input. Ashby has no listed native trigger events in this package.
