Check a proposed meeting time against your calendar
See whether a proposed time fits before you write back. Notis can check Google Calendar and give you a concise availability report.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
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
You leave the email to check your calendar, then return to the thread and reconstruct what you were answering.
- Check proposed times without switching away to search your calendar manually.
- Get a focused result to use in your reply.
- Avoid confirming a time that already conflicts with a calendar event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to identify proposed meeting times in new emails, check the relevant Google Calendar time range, and report the result without sending a reply.
- 4Pick the New Outlook Message trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that proposes a meeting time.
