Find open meeting times during a chatbot conversation
Give your scheduling agent a grounded view of available time by checking free slots for the period the webhook requests.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Suggesting a meeting time without checking availability can create avoidable back and forth.
- Check availability within a specific time range.
- Give the scheduling conversation concrete open slots.
- Avoid suggesting times already marked busy.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botsonic and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find free slots on the requested calendar for the start and end times included in the webhook.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real webhook whose time range has an end after its start.
Questions about this workflow
What is required to check availability?
The webhook should include the calendar and a time range. The start time must be before the end time.
Will this book a meeting automatically?
No. It finds available slots. Create Event can be used in a separate workflow once a time is confirmed.
