Check commitments before a new task takes a slot
A proposed time is easier to trust when you have checked what is already on the calendar.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
New tasks can be assigned a time that overlaps existing commitments when planning happens across separate apps.
- Review existing events around proposed task timing.
- Catch conflicts before a calendar block is created.
- Keep new commitments grounded in the current schedule.

- 3Tell Notis to search the relevant time range for calendar conflicts and summarize matches for review.

Questions about this workflow
Does this reserve the proposed time?
No. It searches for matching events and reports the results for review.
What is needed to search a useful time range?
The task or your instruction must provide a date or time range. Without one, Notis has no grounded window to check.
