Find a clear window for incident response
Check availability across the calendars you specify and find a time for the next response session.
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 time across busy calendars can delay planning and create more back-and-forth after an incident.
- Check availability for calendars you specify.
- Find open time inside a defined range.
- Reduce back-and-forth when planning a response session.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Stack and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which calendars and time window to check for an incident response session.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test it with one real availability example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this check whether Better Stack has an active incident?
No. The Better Stack source has no listed trigger events. This schedule checks Google Calendar availability for the calendars and time range in your instruction.
What time range should I specify?
Give Notis a start and end time. The start must come before the end.
Does the action create the event?
No. Find free slots returns availability. Use the result to decide on a time, then create an event separately if needed.
