Make room to review capacity trends

When capacity needs attention, find open time for a focused review without manually checking calendars first.

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

Capacity questions often linger because finding a shared opening takes another round of calendar checking.

  • Pair a supplied capacity result with a concrete scheduling next step
  • Search calendar free slots across a defined time range
  • Reduce the back-and-forth needed to find review time

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ClickHouse and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, describe the capacity signal to review, the calendars to check, and the time range for possible slots.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real capacity result and a defined availability window.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create the review event?

No. Find free slots returns availability. Notis can report a suitable slot, but creating an event requires a separate instruction and action.

What does the availability search need?

Specify the calendars and time range. If the time range is omitted, the action defaults to the current day in UTC.

Can it decide whether capacity needs a review?

Only according to criteria you supply, such as a utilization threshold. The automation should not invent a threshold or expected baseline.
