Check shared availability for a billing review

Find a time that works across the calendars needed for an account decision.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Query Free/Busy Information

Returns free/busy information for a set of calendars.

Why this helps

Coordinating a review across calendars can consume time before the actual billing decision begins.

  • Check free/busy status across the calendars included in the request.
  • Support a defined time range for a shared review.
  • Avoid unnecessary calendar-by-calendar checking.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Billsby and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to query free/busy status for the calendars and time range provided with a review request.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real review request and verify the calendars and time window.

Questions about this workflow

Can it determine which people should attend?

Only if that information and the relevant calendar identifiers are supplied in the request. The action checks free/busy data for specified calendars.

Does this create the meeting?
