Check Cal availability when a request comes in
When a scheduling request reaches your webhook, have Notis check availability for the calendar and time window supplied in that request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check calendar availability
Retrieves free/busy availability for a specified calendar to aid scheduling without revealing event details; requires an existing, accessible calendar, noting that data granularity can vary.
Why this helps
Answering availability questions can mean stopping work to open a calendar and inspect open time manually.
- Reduce manual calendar checks
- Respond to incoming scheduling requests with relevant availability
- Check free and busy time without exposing event details
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis to check availability using the calendar and time details supplied in the incoming request.
- 3Pick a Notis webhook trigger and arrange for the request to include an accessible calendar and the time window to check.
- 4Choose where run reports go and test with one real request.
