Never Accidentally Schedule During Someone's Midnight
When you book a meeting with people across time zones, Notis flags conflicts (e.g., 11 PM for one person, 9 AM for another) and logs them so everyone knows the ask.
Trigger
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
Action
Append Values to Spreadsheet
Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a google sheet.
Why this helps
Coordinating across time zones is cognitively taxing. You might accidentally schedule someone into an unreasonable time and damage relationships or burn them out.
- Avoid scheduling during unreasonable hours for attendees
- Show empathy by acknowledging timezone sacrifice
- Build a record of unfair asks so you can balance the load
- Reduce friction in global teams
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Google Sheets to Notis
- 2Tell Notis: 'When I schedule a meeting with attendees in multiple time zones, log the meeting and flag any attendees in timezones where the meeting falls between 10 PM and 8 AM, including their local time'
- 3Create a timezone conflicts sheet or let Notis set one up
- 4Notis will need attendee timezone data—either from email domains or a timezone reference you provide
- 5Test by scheduling a meeting with someone in a different timezone
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know attendees' time zones?
You can add timezone info to your contacts, or Notis can infer from email domain/location if you've provided it. You can also manually specify for key attendees.
What counts as unreasonable hours?
By default, Notis flags 10 PM to 8 AM. You can customize the 'too late/early' times based on your team's norms.
Can I use this to suggest better meeting times?
Notis can log conflicts and suggest alternative times that work better for the group, or you can use the log to justify finding a better slot.
Does this work for recurring meetings across time zones?
Yes. Notis will flag each instance of a recurring meeting if there are timezone conflicts.
