Action

Why this helps

A launch window can collide with existing commitments across calendars before anyone notices.

  • Check free and busy information for the stated window.
  • Spot calendar conflicts before coordinating next steps.
  • Keep availability checks tied to the release context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Beamer and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to query free and busy information for the calendars and time window you specify from a Beamer update.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real update and a time window where the start precedes the end.

Questions about this workflow

Does this provide detailed event descriptions?

The Query Free/Busy action returns free and busy information. Use Find free slots if you need slot results enhanced with event details.

Can Notis choose calendars that were not specified?

The calendars to check need to be available from the request or instruction; this action does not infer a missing calendar list.
