Find a workable time for customer interviews
Move research planning forward by seeing which proposed interview windows fit your calendar.
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
Customer research slows down when scheduling takes repeated back-and-forth and manual calendar checks.
- Compare proposed interview windows with calendar availability.
- Use the requested interview duration when finding slots.
- Report unavailable or incomplete requests clearly.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clay and Google Calendar once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe how Clay interview requests should be checked against availability.
- 3Choose a recurring Notis schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real interview request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it choose an interview time without checking with the participant?
It can find open slots, but the participant's availability must also be known before confirming a time.
What if the request does not include a duration?
Provide a default duration in your instruction or have the automation report the missing detail.
