What it does

Keeps standing meetings alive when someone bails. When an attendee declines an Outlook event, the bot reads any note they left ("can we push to next week?"), re-checks free/busy for all attendees, and proposes a new time that honors the stated reason, rebooking once everyone confirms.

When to use it

Use it for recurring stakeholder reviews or one-on-ones where a single decline normally triggers a manual reschedule scramble. It removes the organizer from the loop for routine moves.

How it works

  1. 1An Outlook event-decline notification triggers the flow.
  2. 2OpenAI extracts the decliner's intent and any timing hint from their response.
  3. 3The bot pulls fresh free/busy for all remaining attendees from Outlook.
  4. 4A logic step decides whether to propose a new slot or escalate (for example, if the decliner is required and gave no flexibility).
  5. 5The bot posts a proposed new time and collects confirmations.
  6. 6On agreement it updates the Outlook event in place and notifies attendees of the move.
