Urgent Work Gets Instant Scheduling Flexibility

High-priority issue just landed? Your Cal availability instantly opens up window for it, signaling to the team you can move fast.

Trigger

Issue Created Trigger

Triggered when a new issue is created.

Action

Create user availability schedule

Creates a cal.com user availability schedule, defining its name, timezone, weekly recurring availability, and specific date overrides; if `isdefault` is true, this schedule replaces any existing default and applies to event types not linked to a specific schedule.

Why this helps

High-priority issues appear but your calendar looks booked solid. Stakeholders aren't sure if you're actually available to tackle it.

  • Open availability windows signal responsiveness to urgent issues without requiring manual availability updates
  • Your calendar reflects actual priority, not just pre-booked time
  • High-priority issues get treated with scheduling flexibility, improving response time

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Cal integrations
  • 2Create the automation: 'When a high-priority issue is created, create an open availability window in Cal for the next 24 hours'
  • 3Specify what 'open availability' means for your timezone and preferences
  • 4Set the trigger to Linear Issue Created (with high-priority filter)
  • 5Test by creating a high-priority issue and verify an availability window appears in Cal

Questions about this workflow

What duration should the availability window be?

You decide: 24 hours, 4 hours, or until end of day. Tell Notis your preference.

Does this conflict with existing Cal blocks?

Notis will create the availability window over existing blocks. You decide if that's an override or a separate signal.

What if I don't actually have time for high-priority work?

Manually delete the availability window. This is a signal, not a commitment. You control whether you can actually make space.
