Verify Your Availability Before Sending Meeting Confirmations
You're drafting a meeting confirmation email. Notis checks your calendar and confirms you're actually free at that time. Catches double-booking before you hit send, preventing embarrassing schedule conflicts.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Get Google Calendar
Retrieves a specific google calendar, identified by `calendar id`, to which the authenticated user has access.
Why this helps
You confirm a meeting time via email, then realize later you already have something scheduled. Now you have to send an awkward correction email. This undermines trust and creates context-switching.
- Catch scheduling conflicts before sending confirmation
- Maintain professional credibility by never double-booking
- Reduce awkward follow-up emails about time conflicts
- Stay organized without manually checking calendar
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Google Calendar to Notis
- 2Create automation: 'Before I send an email confirming a meeting time, check my calendar to make sure I'm actually available at that time'
- 3Set trigger to 'Email Sent' and choose your channel
- 4Notis will check your calendar and flag conflicts before the email goes out

What if I mention a tentative time in the email?
Notis checks the proposed time and lets you know availability, helping you send correct options.
Can I set buffer time between meetings?
Yes, tell Notis to ensure at least 15 minutes (or any duration) between back-to-back meetings.
