Protect Time to Prepare Before an Event
Search for open preparation time in the days leading up to an event you provide.
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
Preparation tasks often get squeezed out when the event date is visible but prep time is not reserved.
- Identify open preparation slots before event day.
- Focus the search on a relevant pre-event window.
- Reduce last-minute scheduling pressure.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ChMeetings and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Find Open Event Preparation Time.
- 3Tell Notis to find free slots on selected calendars within the supplied days before an event.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one upcoming event date and review the available slots.
Questions about this workflow
Does this reserve a slot?
No. It finds available time and reports the results. Choose and reserve a slot separately.
What is required for each run?
