Notis

Find open times for a form-based request

Search for open slots across selected calendars and get options ready to share.

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 time across calendars takes repeated searches and makes scheduling requests drag on.

  • Search for open time within the requested date range.
  • Reduce repetitive calendar checking.
  • Return candidate slots for review before sending a reply.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Cabinpanda and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Describe that Notis should search selected calendars for free slots in the request's stated time range and report options without booking.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request that includes a start and end date range.

Questions about this workflow

Does this book an open slot automatically?

No. It finds and reports slots so you can choose what to offer or book.

What if the date range is missing?

The workflow should ask for a date range instead of searching an assumed period.
