Reserve travel time for in-person meetings
A meeting location can mean the calendar needs room for getting there too.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
An in-person booking can look manageable on the calendar while leaving out the time needed to travel.
- Make specified travel time visible alongside the meeting.
- Reduce the chance of overlapping travel and other commitments.
- Plan around in-person bookings more realistically.
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 create a travel hold only for in-person Calendarhero meetings when location and travel duration are supplied.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real in-person meeting and specified travel timing.
Questions about this workflow
Can it calculate travel duration?
Only use a travel duration that is available in the booking context or that you provide. Do not assume travel time.
Does it make a hold for virtual meetings?
No. Instruct Notis to create holds only when the meeting is identified as in person.
