Find open times from a Byteforms scheduling request
Give Notis a date range and let it find calendar openings you can offer without scanning your week.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Finding a workable meeting time means repeatedly scanning busy calendars and keeping the request in mind.
- Identify available slots within a requested time range.
- Avoid manually reviewing each calendar event.
- Get slot options alongside a run report.
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 find free slots for the requested calendars and supplied time range.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes a valid start and end range.
Questions about this workflow
Can this check more than one calendar?
The action supports specified calendars. Name the calendars to check and ensure the request or instruction identifies them.
Does it book one of the returned slots?
No. It finds and reports open slots; use a separate event creation workflow after a time is chosen.
