Find calendar openings for Discord planning threads
Start a planning thread and get available meeting slots for its stated date range without leaving Discord.
Trigger
New Thread Created
Triggered when a new thread is created in a Discord channel within a monitored server.
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
Planning threads can grow without anyone checking when the group could actually meet.
- Check the calendar when a thread contains a clear scheduling window.
- Return openings to help the conversation move toward a decision.
- Avoid booking a time 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 meeting discussed in a new thread only when the thread includes a specific date range, and return openings without booking.
- 4Pick New Thread Created as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real planning thread that includes a date range.
