Notis

Make space for each new starter's first week

See available time around incoming start dates so onboarding planning has a clear place to begin.

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

The first week can fill up before anyone has checked whether the people supporting a new hire have room.

  • See open time around incoming start dates
  • Support earlier onboarding planning
  • Reduce back and forth to find a suitable slot

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 onboarding availability.
  • 3Tell Notis to use upcoming start dates from Breathe HR to find and report free calendar slots around each date.
  • 4Choose notis_cron and set the schedule and time window to review.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real upcoming start date.

Questions about this workflow

Which calendars will it check?

Use the calendars you specify in the instruction and for which the connected account can query availability.
