Notis

Check your calendar before proposing a time

When a prospect is ready to talk, Notis can verify the address and check the requested calendar window before you send a time suggestion.

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

Proposing a time without checking existing commitments creates avoidable back-and-forth and makes follow-up harder to track.

  • Check the requested window without switching between prospect and calendar tools.
  • Use verified contact details before preparing a follow-up.
  • Surface calendar events that need review before proposing a time.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Clearout and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to validate and enrich the prospect, search the specified Google Calendar and time range, then summarize events that could affect scheduling.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real prospect request that includes a calendar and time window.

Questions about this workflow

Does Find event return free time slots?

No. Find event searches for calendar events matching a query and time range. For free and busy slots, use a workflow based on the dedicated Find free slots action.

Can Notis propose an opening?

It can summarize the events returned in the requested window to help identify a possible opening. Provide the calendar and time range in the request.

Does this automatically contact the prospect?

No. This workflow searches Google Calendar and summarizes the result. It does not send a message or create an event.
