Auto-Find Meeting Slots When Asana Comments Land
Collaborators comment on a task asking to sync? Notis instantly scans your Google Calendar for free slots within the next week, so you can respond immediately without hunting through availability.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
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
Someone comments 'Can we discuss this tomorrow?' but you're in back-to-back meetings and can't think straight about when you're free. By the time you look at your calendar, the moment has passed.
- Respond to collaboration requests with actual available times, not vague 'let me get back to you'
- Reduce context-switching between Asana, email, and calendar
- Find free slots even when your calendar feels impossibly full
- Coordinate async without the mental load of availability hunting
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a comment is added to an Asana task, search my Google Calendar for free slots in the next 5 business days.'
- 3Specify which Asana project to monitor.
- 4Choose how many slots you want Notis to find (e.g., 3-5 options).
- 5Test by adding a comment to a task and checking your Notis report for available times.
Questions about this workflow
Does every comment trigger a search?
By default, yes. You can refine this by telling Notis to only trigger on comments containing certain keywords like 'meet,' 'sync,' or 'discuss.'
How far into the future does Notis search?
You control this. Ask for 'the next 3 days,' 'next week,' or 'next 2 weeks,' and Notis will search that range.
Will it suggest times during my focus blocks?
No. Tell Notis which hours or calendar categories to avoid (e.g., 'skip Deep Work blocks, skip early mornings'), and it respects those.
