Find open time for the document work ahead
Give the scheduled scan a planning window and the time you need, then let Notis identify possible openings.
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 a quiet block for focused document work can take repeated calendar checks and manual comparisons.
- Check for open slots across the calendar window you specify.
- Use the requested duration and scheduling constraints supplied in the instruction.
- Bring possible work times into a regular planning routine.
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, and provide a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find free slots for the specified calendar and planning window, then report options suitable for the stated Cloudlayer document task duration.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and report destination, then test with one real planning window.
Questions about this workflow
Will this automatically book an open slot?
No. Find free slots identifies openings. Booking one requires a separate event creation action and a definite chosen time.
What information should be in the instruction?
Specify the calendar, the planning window, and how long the document work needs to take. A window's start must precede its end.
