Check for existing review time before adding more
A quick search can help you use a review slot you already have instead of adding another competing event.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Repeated checks can create calendar clutter when an existing review slot would have worked.
- Searches for existing related calendar events.
- Helps reduce duplicate review blocks.
- Pairs current validator information with a relevant calendar search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beaconchain and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation through Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis: Check current Beaconchain validator signals, search my calendar for an upcoming validator review, and summarize whether an existing event covers follow-up.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real example and check that the search range is appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create an event if none is found?

How does the calendar search work?
Notis can use a text query and time range with the Find event action. State the search window and relevant terms in your instruction.
