Let BotMape Plans Account for Calendar Commitments
Give a planning request a view of free and busy time before it suggests when work can happen.
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
A plan can look workable in chat and still collide with commitments already on the calendar.
- Check availability for a set of calendars within a defined period.
- Use existing busy intervals to inform an agent's proposed plan.
- Avoid creating events just to inspect calendar availability.

- 1Connect BotMape and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how free-busy results should inform the planning request.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Send one real planning request with calendars and a valid time range.

Will it include full event details?
