Check appointment availability from Box intake files
Turn a new Box intake into a quick availability check, without copying its scheduling details by hand.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
Action
Get Appointment Availability
Tool to get calendar availability for a specific appointment. Use when you need to fetch available time slots for an appointment within a date range.
Why this helps
Scheduling details arrive in documents, and checking calendars adds another manual handoff.
- Reduce retyping between intake documents and the booking calendar.
- Surface available times while the request is fresh.
- Keep the automation focused on appointment and date details present in the file.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Appointo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to read each new intake file for the appointment type and date range, then check matching Appointo availability.
- 4Choose the Box new-file-in-folder trigger and select the intake folder; choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real intake file and review the availability result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a booking?
No. It checks availability and reports the result. Booking creation is a separate Appointo action.
What if the file does not include an appointment type or date range?
Notis can report that the required scheduling details are missing. Provide the details in the intake or prompt.
