Check availability for a flagged Discord proposal
Mark a meeting proposal for a calendar check, and get available slots for the time range stated in the message.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
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
A promising time proposal can stall while someone checks availability and returns to the conversation.
- Signal which proposals need an availability check.
- Search only when the message includes a usable time range.
- Return openings without booking before the group agrees.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find free slots for a reacted-to proposal only when it includes a clear date range, then return openings without booking an event.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real proposal and its designated reaction.
Questions about this workflow
Does this reserve a slot?
No. Find free slots reports availability; it does not create an event or reserve the time.
What if the proposal only says 'sometime Friday'?
The date range may be enough for a search, but Notis should return openings and ask for any missing scheduling constraints rather than assume them.
