Spot calendar conflicts before a Braze send
Check a proposed send window against your calendar while the plan is still easy to change.
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
It is easy to commit to a send window before noticing a meeting, launch, or other important event already on the calendar.
- Review calendar events before committing to a proposed send time.
- Search around the exact date range supplied with the request.
- Get a concise report of possible conflicts.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Braze and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to search the selected Google Calendar for events in each proposed Braze send window and report possible conflicts.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes a search phrase and a valid time range.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow change the Braze send schedule?
No. It searches Google Calendar and reports matching events so you can decide whether to adjust the plan.
What date range can I provide?
Provide a start and end time in chronological order. Google Calendar Find event requires the minimum time to be no later than the maximum time.
