See where meetings leave room for focused work and make those windows part of a concrete Asana plan.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Open time gets fragmented when meeting commitments and priority work are planned in separate places.
- Plan priority work around scheduled conversations.
- Make open calendar periods more intentional.
- Keep focus work visible in the task system.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Calendly and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to review upcoming Calendly meetings and create Asana focus-work tasks for open periods that meet your stated criteria and priorities.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one upcoming week and check the proposed plan.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know how much focus time I need?
Include your preferred work block length and planning rules in the instruction.
Will the workflow move or book meetings?
No. It uses meeting times to create planning tasks in Asana; it does not reschedule or book Calendly events.
