Why this helps
Coordinating group meetings requires checking multiple calendars manually. This creates cognitive overhead and delays responses. Neurodivergent founders often avoid the effort entirely, leading to a reputation for being hard to schedule with.
- Instantly know if group meetings can happen
- Reduce back-and-forth with clients on team availability
- Respond confidently to meeting requests
- Eliminate manual calendar checking for everyone
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp Business Account and Google Calendar to Notis, ensuring you have view access to team members' calendars.
- 2Create an automation: 'Team Availability Sync', Trigger set to 'New Message Received'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When someone requests a team meeting (keywords: team, group, meeting with everyone, conference call), check Google Calendar availability for: my calendar, [Team Member 1], [Team Member 2], [Team Member 3] on the proposed date/time and report if everyone is free.'
- 4Configure calendar IDs for each team member.
- 5Test by sending a message like 'Can we get the team together Thursday at 2pm?' and verify Notis checks everyone's availability.
Questions about this workflow
Can I exclude certain team members?
Yes, you control which calendars Notis checks. You might include only client-facing team members, for example.
Does it require them to share their full calendar?
They need to share at least a free/busy view. Most people grant calendar read access for exactly this use case.
What if the proposed time doesn't work?
You can configure Notis to also suggest alternative times when everyone is available.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Google Calendar. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Google Calendar actions
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
