Check a Byteforms request against your calendar
See what already occupies the requested time before you confirm a meeting.
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
A request can look available until you remember another event already has that time blocked.
- Surface events near a requested time before responding.
- Reduce accidental double-booking.
- Keep the conflict check connected to the original request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Byteforms and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search the relevant calendar and time range and report matching events.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request whose time range is known.
Questions about this workflow
Does this reserve the requested time?
No. Find Event searches for matching events and reports them; it does not create a reservation.
What time range should Notis search?
State the desired range in your instruction and ensure the request supplies usable start and end bounds.
