Webhook to retrieve available time slots in a Google Calendar for a one-week view
Instantly discover when your Google Calendar is actually free this week—with zero guesswork or back-and-forth.
Trying to manually find open time slots in a busy Google Calendar for the week ahead is not just tedious—it’s a maze of switching tabs, scanning through appointments, and constantly missing out on perfect meeting windows. The cost is real: wasted hours, friction scheduling clients, and the risk of double-booking or losing opportunities. When your schedule isn’t transparent or instantly accessible, productivity plummets and professional reputation can suffer.
This Botize formula instantly scans your selected Google Calendar for the coming week whenever its webhook is triggered, detecting every existing event and automatically listing the precise available time slots—filtered by your defined working hours, time zones, and preferences. No more manual searching or juggling between time zones and overlapping meetings; just a clean, actionable report of when you’re free, delivered in seconds. Users remain in full control, setting the calendar, daily hours to check, and even the slot durations so that the results perfectly fit their needs.
Experience what it’s like to make scheduling effortless and accurate: just follow the simple steps with Botize, set your parameters, and let the automation work for you. When you’re ready to reclaim your time and clean up your calendar chaos, the ready-made formula is waiting—just a click away from transforming the way you book your week.

⌾︎ You book meetings, calls, or appointments in Google Calendar and hate the back-and-forth.
⌾︎ You need to know your actual open slots to plan focused work or offer availability to clients.
✕ You don’t use Google Calendar or don’t plan your days at all.
✕ Your schedule is totally open or totally blocked—there’s nothing to find!
✓ Choose which specific Google Calendar you want to scan (personal, team, etc.).
✓ Set exactly which daily hours are considered ‘bookable’ (perfect for part-time or night owls!).
✓ Get results formatted in your preferred time zone, so you never get mixed up with clients or teammates in other cities.
This task creates a webhook that retrieves the available time slots in a Google Calendar for a one-week period. When the webhook is called, the automation checks the events already scheduled in the selected calendar and calculates the free time slots within the week. The response returned by the webhook contains the list of available time slots that can be used to schedule new events. To use this task, you will need to select the Google Calendar you want to analyze, define your time zone, and specify the daily time ranges within which the automation should search for available slots.
