What it does

Recovers meeting rooms that were booked but never used. On a recurring schedule it inspects upcoming and in-progress room events, detects bookings that were never confirmed by the start grace window, cancels them, and announces the freed rooms so others can grab them.

When to use it

Use this in offices where rooms are chronically booked but sit empty ("ghost meetings"). It enforces a check-in policy automatically and keeps an audit trail of reclaimed rooms, reducing the scramble for space during busy hours.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires every few minutes during business hours.
  2. 2The workflow pulls current room events from Google Calendar and finds any whose start time passed by the grace period without a check-in flag.
  3. 3For each unconfirmed booking, it cancels the calendar event to release the room.
  4. 4It updates the Airtable booking log, marking those entries as Reclaimed with a timestamp.
  5. 5It posts a summary of the now-available rooms and times to the office Slack channel so the space gets reused.
