Check the calendar before confirming a proposed time
Before you send a follow-up, see whether the proposed slot already has a conflict.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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 proposed time can sound settled in a conversation even when nobody checked the calendar.
- Check a proposed slot without switching between transcript and calendar.
- See relevant events before confirming the time.
- Catch potential conflicts early.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Castingwords and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find events near any clearly proposed meeting time and report conflicts with transcript context.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real transcript that mentions a proposed time.
Questions about this workflow
Does finding events prove a time is free?
No. This workflow searches for events matching a query and time range. For availability checks, use a free/busy action when appropriate.
What happens if no proposed time appears?
Instruct Notis to report that it found no clear proposed time and not search using a guessed date.
