Find open calendar time for BigML experiments
Let Notis check for open slots so experiment planning does not require a manual availability hunt.
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 usable block for experiments often means scanning calendars and doing scheduling math by hand.
- Searches for free slots within a defined time range.
- Returns availability enriched with event details.
- Reduces manual calendar scanning before experiment work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BigML and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what outcome you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find available slots for BigML experiment work in the time range you specify.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real availability search.
