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
Checking several calendars manually creates friction when you are trying to find a time for a new meeting.
- Review free time across specified calendars.
- Reduce manual availability checks before scheduling.
- Keep the requested time range in one report.
