Find open calendar time for focus work
Notis can look for free slots in your calendars each week and surface windows you can reserve for focused work.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Open work often gets pushed aside when you have to hunt manually for usable calendar gaps.
- Spot open windows before they disappear.
- Reduce manual availability checking.
- Protect time for work that needs uninterrupted attention.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to find free slots next week for selected calendars and report the openings.
- 4Pick a weekly Notis schedule and choose a report channel.
- 5Test a run with the intended date range and calendars.
