Find time for the next step in a slide
When a new slide calls for a conversation, check the calendar for open slots and get possible times in the run report.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
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
Finding a time for a follow-up often means switching to the calendar, checking availability, then returning to the deck to remember why the meeting matters.
- Check for openings while slide context is available
- See potential times in one run report
- Make follow-up scheduling easier to act on
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe when a slide should prompt an availability check.
- 3Tell Notis which calendars and time window to check, and ask it to report suitable open slots.
- 4Pick the New Slide Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real slide and verify the calendars and time window used.
Questions about this workflow
Does this book the meeting?
No. Find Free Slots returns availability options. Use a separate instruction or action if you want an event created.
What time range should I ask Notis to check?
Specify a clear start and end. The start must come before the end. If omitted, the action defaults to the current UTC day.
Can it include event details when checking availability?
The action enhances busy intervals with event details where available. Ask Notis to report only the information needed to choose a slot.
