Find Your Daily Free Slots Automatically
Every morning at 8am, Notis scans your Google Calendar and surfaces the free blocks in your day. No hunting, no guessing—just a clear list of when you can actually take meetings or focus 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
You wake up to a full calendar but have no sense of your actual free time. People ask 'are you free this afternoon?' and you can't answer without opening your calendar for the tenth time.
- Start your day with a clear view of your available time
- Respond to meeting requests immediately with real availability data
- Protect your focus time by knowing exactly when it exists
- Reduce the cognitive load of tracking your own availability
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Every weekday at 8am, find all my free time slots today and report them to me.'
- 3Specify how to receive the report (email, Slack, or another channel).
- 4Tell Notis which times to exclude (e.g., lunch, deep work blocks, early mornings).
- 5Test by manually running the automation or waiting for the first scheduled run.
Questions about this workflow
Will it include weekends?
No, by default it runs on weekdays only. You can customize this if you want weekend availability included.
Can I get the report at a different time of day?
Absolutely. Tell Notis 'at 9am' or 'at noon' or 'at 5pm,' and it will run on your schedule.
What counts as a 'free slot'?
Any gap between calendar events. You define the minimum duration (e.g., only slots 30+ minutes) and which categories to ignore.
