Get a clear availability picture for the calendars and dates the request names.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Query Free/Busy Information
Returns free/busy information for a set of calendars.
Why this helps
Availability checks become scattered when you have to open several calendars and compare the same window by hand.
- Check free and busy intervals for specified calendars.
- Keep availability review tied to the request's date range.
- Reduce manual calendar comparison.
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 query free and busy time for the named calendars and requested time range.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the calendars and time window are clear.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from finding free slots?
This returns free and busy information for specified calendars. Find Free Slots is oriented toward finding candidate open intervals.
What if the request does not identify calendars?
Specify the calendars in your instruction or provide them in the request before running the check.
