Find a workable slot for recurring template improvements

See where template review can fit before another reporting cycle depends on the same setup.

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

Recurring template improvements get postponed because there is no clear opening to review them.

  • Find open time for a focused template review
  • Make recurring report improvements easier to plan
  • Avoid leaving template quality work until a deadline

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Carbone and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis: On this schedule, find available slots for report template review in the calendars and date range I specify, then summarize the options.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real review window and confirm the available options.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow make changes to a Carbone template?

No. It finds calendar availability for the review work. Template modification is not an action event listed here.

What range should I use?

Choose a time range that gives you enough lead time before the next report cycle, and ensure the start comes before the end.
