Find a place for next week's Canva design work
See available design time early enough to plan around the rest of the week.
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
Waiting until the week begins can leave no uninterrupted time for important design work.
- Checks for useful openings before the week starts.
- Makes design planning more concrete.
- Helps fit creative work around existing commitments.

Questions about this workflow
Does the action create a design block?
