Find a meeting slot while prospect interest is fresh
Check availability for a researched prospect without manually comparing calendars.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Comparing calendars by hand adds friction just when a promising conversation should be easy to arrange.
- Check availability across the calendars you specify.
- Use an explicit time range to find relevant openings.
- Reduce the back and forth involved in proposing a time.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigpicture io and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for prospect meeting availability.
- 3Tell Notis to find free slots on the specified calendars during the supplied time range and summarize suitable options.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real prospect request and a time range.
Questions about this workflow
Does this book a meeting?
No. It finds open slots and reports them. Use a separate instruction or workflow to create an event after a time is agreed.
What must the request include?
Provide a time range and the calendars to check. A useful request also includes the meeting duration or desired slot length if available to the automation.
