Find time to respond to Bolt device issues
Check your calendars for an open slot before device follow-up gets crowded out.
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
When alerts compete with founder work, it can be hard to see where response time actually fits.
- Find available slots across specified calendars and a defined time range.
- Make response time visible alongside existing commitments.
- Avoid proposing a slot outside the search window.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to find free slots for device response work in the calendars and time window you specify.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real time window and verify the returned slots against your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow schedule a response event?
No. It finds free slots and reports them. Use the returned availability to decide when to schedule.
What if no time range is supplied?
Specify a time window in your automation instruction. The free-slot action defaults to the current UTC day when time bounds are omitted.
