Find an open calendar slot for campaign work

Give campaign work a realistic place in the week by checking your calendar before deciding when to do it.

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

Campaign tasks often get planned for time that is already committed.

  • Check availability before choosing a campaign work time.
  • Include details about busy periods to make planning easier.
  • Reduce rescheduling caused by overlooking existing commitments.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bigmailer and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Campaign focus slot finder and describe the work window to look for.
  • 3Pick a recurring Notis schedule for when you plan your campaign work.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with a real planning window and confirm the returned free slots.

Questions about this workflow

Does this schedule create a calendar event?

No. It checks available slots and reports them. Choose a separate event-creation workflow if you want Notis to reserve time.

What time range does it check?

Provide the preferred start and end range in your instruction. Google Calendar requires the start to come before the end.
