Find a clear window for newsletter writing
Give Notis a planning window and let it check your calendar for free time you can use for the next Beehiiv newsletter.
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
Finding a realistic writing window means checking a crowded calendar and mentally comparing possible slots.
- See available time in a defined planning window.
- Avoid manually scanning each day for a workable writing session.
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 useful free slots for newsletter writing within the supplied date range and report the options.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real planning window and confirm that the availability is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow know the newsletter deadline?
Only if you supply it in your instruction or planning details. Beehiiv has no trigger events available here.
What time range does the availability check use?
The workflow needs a defined time range. Google Calendar requires the start of the range to be before its end.
