What it does

Catches meeting-room double-bookings the moment they happen and helps resolve them. When a new event lands on a room calendar, the workflow verifies the room is actually free for that slot; if it collides with an existing booking, it finds open alternatives and lets the organizer reassign with one Slack click.

When to use it

Use this when multiple booking sources (calendar invites, the concierge bot, walk-up tablets) feed the same rooms and conflicts slip through. It prevents two teams showing up to the same room and resolves the clash before the meeting starts.

How it works

  1. 1A new event is created on a monitored room calendar in Google Calendar (event trigger).
  2. 2The workflow checks that room's calendar for any other event overlapping the same time window.
  3. 3If there is no conflict, it exits quietly. If there is, it searches the other rooms for a free, equivalently sized option.
  4. 4It messages the new event's organizer in Slack explaining the conflict and listing available alternative rooms as selectable options.
  5. 5On the organizer's choice, it moves the booking to the selected room and confirms the update in Slack.
