Make time for the work before publish day
Find open calendar space for editing, links, and final checks before your newsletter is due.
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
Publishing involves small preparation tasks that get squeezed out when only the final deadline is visible.
- Find room for preparation work before publication day.
- See real openings rather than relying on a mental guess about availability.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beehiiv and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find open slots for newsletter preparation in the supplied planning window and summarize the options.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real preparation window and confirm the available slots fit your needs.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the preparation events too?
No. It finds and reports free slots. To create an event, choose a separate workflow using a calendar event creation action.
Can it know how long editing will take?
Only if you provide the desired duration or the context needed to choose one. The availability action does not know your workload.
