Find an uninterrupted deployment work window
Locate free calendar slots for the hands-on work a deployment needs.
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 time for deep deployment work by scanning each calendar manually adds friction to an already busy day.
- Finds free periods within the specified time window
- Helps protect longer blocks for deployment tasks
- Cuts down on manual calendar scanning
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Google Calendar once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to find free slots long enough for the deployment work in the time range you provide.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real focus-time search.
Questions about this workflow
Does it block a slot automatically?
No. Find free slots reports available periods. Use a separate event creation step to reserve a selected time.
What range should I provide?
Include a start and end time, with the start earlier than the end, and describe the focus block length you need.
