Check calendar conflicts before acting on Basin requests
A new request can overlap with a commitment already on your calendar. Notis can search for relevant events using the request details and report what it finds.
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
Checking a request against your calendar by hand adds another context switch and can leave conflicts unnoticed.
- Surface potentially conflicting events while reviewing a request.
- Reduce repeated searching across apps.
- Give Notis a concrete calendar record to include in a report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basin and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to search Google Calendar using the request's event details and report possible conflicts for review.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Basin response and a calendar time range you can verify.
Questions about this workflow
Does this reserve a time or create an event?
No. This workflow searches for matching events and reports results. It does not reserve availability or create an event.
What information should the Basin response include?
Include enough context to search meaningfully, such as a topic or event description and a relevant time range.
Can it guarantee there is no conflict?
It can report events returned by Google Calendar for the search. Confirm the relevant calendar and time range before relying on the result.
