Check Appointo openings for a time-sensitive request
A time-sensitive request should not sit while you search for the right calendar. Have Notis check Appointo availability from the details in the Slack DM.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Get Appointment Availability
Tool to get calendar availability for a specific appointment. Use when you need to fetch available time slots for an appointment within a date range.
Why this helps
Urgent scheduling messages compete with other work and are easy to postpone while gathering availability.
- Start checking openings as soon as the request arrives.
- Reduce delay caused by a manual calendar search.
- Make the next response easier to prepare.
