Find open time to work on error fixes
Use a recurring check to find available time for error work before adding another commitment.
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
A backlog can remain untouched when there is no obvious open block for focused repair work.
- Checks calendar availability before scheduling repair time.
- Can avoid adding a focus block when no suitable slot is free.
- Supports a recurring review of errors that need hands-on work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bug Recorder and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to identify errors needing hands-on fixes, find an available slot in a specified future time range, and create a focus event only when a suitable slot is returned.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one scheduled run and confirm any created event uses a returned free slot.
Questions about this workflow
What calendar availability is checked?
The free-slot search uses the calendars and time range specified in the automation instructions.
Will it schedule time if no slot is found?
It should create an event only when the search returns a suitable slot.
