Find a Clear Time to Coordinate Volunteers
Have Notis look for open time across selected calendars for the planning window 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
Finding a shared time for volunteer coordination often means repeated calendar checking.
- See open time across selected calendars in one report.
- Reduce back and forth when choosing a planning time.
- Use an explicit time window for the availability search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ChMeetings and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Find Open Time for Volunteer Coordination.
- 3Tell Notis to find free slots on the selected calendars within the supplied planning window.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real planning window and review the suggested open slots.
Questions about this workflow
Can this schedule the meeting too?

What calendars are checked?
The search uses the calendars selected for the free slot request.
