Check the calendar around a new event

A new booking affects the time around it too. Check nearby free slots while the event is fresh.

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

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

New meetings can crowd a day, and reviewing the surrounding availability takes another manual Calendar search.

  • Check free and busy slots in a chosen time window around new events.
  • Spot potential schedule pressure while reviewing the new booking.
  • Keep availability review connected to event creation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Ask Notis to check free slots around each new event, using its start time and a reasonable surrounding window.
  • 4Pick Google Super Event Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real new event.

Questions about this workflow

Does this prevent overlapping events?

No. It checks availability and reports the result for you to review.

What if a time window is not clear?

Specify the surrounding time window in your instruction so Notis can search within it.
