Arranging an inspection without checking the calendar can lead to avoidable conflicts.

- Reduce calendar conflicts before confirming an inspection.
- Keep the vehicle request and availability check in one workflow.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to list events for the calendar and time window included in each inspection request, then summarize conflicts.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes a calendar and time window.
Questions about this workflow
Does listing events reserve the inspection time?
No. This action returns events for the requested calendar. It does not reserve a slot or create an appointment.
What does the webhook need to include?
Include the calendar identifier and a valid time window so Notis can request the relevant events.
