Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Event

Why this helps
Open time can disappear between meetings unless you deliberately give it a purpose.
- Make a chosen focus period visible on the calendar.
- Use availability information to plan around meetings.
- Reduce the chance that open time is filled by default.
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 for an available interval near a Calendarhero meeting and create a focus event only when the duration and preferred window are specified.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one meeting and verify the focus block falls in an available interval.
Questions about this workflow
Does it guarantee the interval stays free?
The availability check reflects the calendars and time window queried. Review the result before relying on it if your schedule may change.
Will it choose a focus duration?
Provide the duration you want. The workflow should not invent a block length.
