Catch cross-calendar conflicts when an Outlook event is added
If you keep calendars in both Outlook and Google, Notis can flag possible overlaps when a new Outlook event appears.
Trigger
New Calendar Event
Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.
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
A new Outlook event can conflict with something already booked in Google Calendar, and the clash is easy to miss.
- Spot overlaps across your Outlook and Google calendars.
- Get a concise report when a new Outlook event conflicts with existing commitments.
- Review conflicts without manually comparing calendars.
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 check the new Outlook event's time range against Google Calendar and report any overlaps for review.
- 4Pick the New Calendar Event trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event that overlaps a Google Calendar commitment.
Questions about this workflow
Does this move or change either event?
No. The workflow checks for overlaps and reports them so you can decide what to change.
What happens if the event lacks an end time?
Tell Notis to report insufficient timing details instead of assuming a duration.
