Know Availability Before You Reach Out
Contact updates in Salesforce? Notis checks their Google Calendar and tells you when they're actually available. No more guessing when to call.
Trigger
Contact Updated
Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.
Action
Query Free/Busy Information
Returns free/busy information for a set of calendars.
Why this helps

- Know availability without asking
- Call when they're likely free
- Reduce back-and-forth on scheduling
- Better sales timing

Questions about this workflow
Do I need contact permission to see their calendar?
Yes. This only works if the contact has shared their Google Calendar with you or your organization. Notis will report if calendar access isn't available.
How far ahead can I look?
You can specify any window: 'next week', 'next 30 days', etc. Notis will scan and report free slots.
Can this suggest a meeting time automatically?
Free/Busy shows you available slots, but you decide which slot to propose. It's the data you need to move faster.
