Find prospect meeting windows before the week fills up

See likely openings for prospect calls before the calendar gets crowded.

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

Open time can disappear quickly when meeting planning waits until a prospect is ready to book.

  • Check selected calendars on a recurring schedule.
  • Use a defined future time window for availability.
  • Make open meeting options easier to spot before arranging calls.

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 windows.
  • 3Tell Notis to find free slots on the specified calendars for the defined future window and summarize the options.
  • 4Pick a notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real set of calendars and a time window.

Questions about this workflow

Does this book prospect meetings automatically?

No. It identifies and reports open slots. A meeting still needs an agreed time before you create an event.

What makes the availability result useful?

Specify the calendars to check, the future time window, and the desired meeting length in your instruction.
