Surface free calendar slots from Notion meeting requests

Someone drops a meeting request into Notion and now you owe them times, but checking your calendar means stopping everything to squint at the week. Notis catches the new request and pulls your open Google Calendar slots, so you can offer availability without breaking focus.

Trigger

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

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

Every meeting request forces a context switch into the calendar to hunt for open times, and the reply keeps sliding down the to-do list.

  • Availability is ready before you even open the calendar
  • Replies to meeting requests stop stalling for days
  • No manual scanning across a busy week
  • Fewer context switches out of your current work

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Google Calendar to Notis from the portal.
  • 2Open Automations and click New Automation, or ask Notis to set it up in any channel.
  • 3State the outcome: when a meeting request is added to my Notion database, find my free Google Calendar slots and send them to me.
  • 4Choose the New Page trigger for the request database and pick the channel for results.
  • 5Test with one request and confirm Notis returns usable open times.

Questions about this workflow

Can I limit the search to working hours?

Yes. Describe your preferred window in the prompt and Notis will only surface slots inside it.

Does it book the meeting too?

This automation finds and returns open times. Pair it with a create-event automation if you want Notis to book directly.

Can it check more than one calendar for conflicts?

Yes. Name the calendars in the prompt and Notis will treat all of them as busy time when finding free slots.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Google Calendar. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Google Calendar actions

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Insert Calendar into List

Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.

ActionInstant

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

Update Calendar List Entry

Updates an existing entry on the user\'s calendar list.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Delete Calendar

Deletes a secondary calendar. use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

Update Calendar

Updates metadata for a calendar.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Clear Calendar

Clears a primary calendar. this operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

Create Event

Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.

ActionInstant

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

TriggerPolling

Delete event

Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.

ActionInstant

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

TriggerPolling

Create a calendar

Creates a new, empty google calendar with the specified title (summary).

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Notion and Google Calendar. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
