See existing commitments before document work
Send the proposed work window with the document request and get the calendar context before you plan around it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Events
Returns events on the specified calendar.
Why this helps
Planning document work without checking existing commitments can lead to rushed or overlapping blocks.
- Bring existing commitments into the document planning moment.
- Use the time window included in the webhook request.
- Help Notis flag conflicts before a work block is finalized.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudlayer and Google Calendar in the Notis portal once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list Google Calendar events for the calendar and time window provided with a Cloudlayer document task request, then summarize conflicts.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and run report destination, then test with one real request that includes a calendar and time range.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow reserve the work block?
No. It lists existing events so Notis can report the calendar context. Reserving a block would require a separate event-creation action.
What if the request has no time range?
The request should supply the intended range. The action's defaults may otherwise return events for its default window, which may not match the task.
