Notis

See the busy time around upcoming meetings

A focused availability check can make the time around bookings easier to plan.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Query Free/Busy Information

Why this helps

You may need a broader availability picture than a list of meeting titles provides.

  • Review busy periods around upcoming bookings.
  • Plan the day using calendar availability.
  • Avoid checking each calendar entry by hand.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Calendarhero and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis to check Google Calendar free and busy information for the time windows around upcoming Calendarhero bookings and summarize the result.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real booking and compare the summary with your calendar.

Questions about this workflow

How is this different from finding free slots?

This checks free and busy information for selected calendars and time windows. It summarizes availability rather than focusing on candidate openings.

Does it change my calendar?

No. Query Free/Busy Information returns availability information and does not modify events.
