Find time to plan coverage before leave starts
Give the team a chance to coordinate coverage while there is still time to make a calm plan.
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
Coverage conversations often happen too late because nobody sets aside time to coordinate before an absence begins.
- Find time for a coverage conversation before leave
- Reduce last-minute coordination
- Make planning a visible step in absence preparation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Breathe HR and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for coverage planning.
- 3Tell Notis to find free calendar slots before upcoming absence dates from Breathe HR and report options for a coverage discussion.
- 4Choose notis_cron and set how far ahead to check.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real upcoming absence.
Questions about this workflow
