Check the calendar before video launch day
Give Notis the launch window and have it check for existing events that could compete with the time you planned.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
A release plan can collide with a meeting or another launch when nobody checks the calendar until the last minute.
- Review existing events around a planned release window.
- See potential conflicts before committing to launch timing.
- Keep the check on a schedule without repeating a manual calendar search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Captions and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe that Notis should search Google Calendar for events in the supplied video launch window and report possible conflicts.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real launch window and review the events returned.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation infer a launch date from Captions?
No. Captions provides no trigger events in this setup. Supply the planned launch window in the automation prompt or its run context.
Does finding a nearby event mean the launch must move?
No. The workflow surfaces events for your review. You decide whether the timing creates a real conflict.
Can it book a new time automatically?
This workflow searches for existing events only. It does not create or change a launch event.
