Notis

Find a clear block for your next campaign planning session

Have Notis look for open time in your selected calendars and report options for focused campaign planning.

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

Choosing a planning time can take more effort than the planning itself when you have to compare busy calendars.

  • Get candidate planning times from calendar availability.
  • Reduce back-and-forth when choosing a work block.
  • Keep the search within a defined planning window.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Benchmark Email and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to find free slots in the chosen calendars during the stated planning window and report suitable options.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real planning window and confirm the results are useful.

Questions about this workflow

What does this workflow do with open slots?

It reports available options. It does not create a planning event automatically.

Can I leave the time window unspecified?

Find Free Slots defaults to the current UTC day when time minimum and maximum are omitted. For planning ahead, provide a defined range with the start before the end.
