Check for calendar conflicts before confirming
Send a proposed time from Backendless and get the relevant calendar events back for review.
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
Agreeing to a time before checking your calendar can create avoidable rescheduling.
- Check for existing commitments before replying.
- Review matching events around the proposed time.
- Keep the decision tied to the submitted request.

- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search the relevant calendar around each proposed time and report potential conflicts.
- 4Select a webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real request whose time range is clear.
