Check a team meeting window from Telegram
Let a channel post start a quick free-and-busy check, so the team can discuss a time with useful availability context.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
Check calendar availability
Retrieves free/busy availability for a specified calendar to aid scheduling without revealing event details; requires an existing, accessible calendar, noting that data granularity can vary.
Why this helps
Group scheduling often turns into a long thread of suggested times and manual calendar checks.
- Ground group discussion in current availability
- Avoid sharing private calendar event details
- Shorten back-and-forth about meeting times
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Cal to Notis once in the portal, and add the bot as a channel administrator.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or describe the availability check that a proposed time post should start.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to check Cal free and busy time for the proposed window and report whether it is available.
- 4Choose the new channel post trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with a real proposed time.
