Check your schedule before confirming a customer call
Review the relevant calendar window before you commit to a billing conversation time.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
A proposed customer call can collide with an existing commitment when availability is checked by memory.
- See relevant calendar events around a proposed conversation.
- Avoid confirming a time that may already be occupied.
- Keep the customer context tied to the request.
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 search the calendar around the proposed customer conversation time and report relevant events.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real proposed time and review the returned calendar context.
Questions about this workflow
Can it find an available time automatically?
This workflow searches for matching events. Use Find free slots if you want a workflow that looks for free/busy openings instead.
What time range should I provide?
Provide a bounded time range relevant to the proposed conversation. The search requires the minimum time to be no later than the maximum time.
