Focus-Block Conflict Negotiator
When a new meeting invite lands on top of a protected focus block, this agent evaluates the conflict, drafts a reschedule proposal with two open alternatives.

What it does
This workflow watches for new calendar invites that collide with your existing protected focus blocks. Rather than letting the meeting quietly override your deep work, an agent weighs the meeting's priority signals, finds two alternative slots that work for both calendars, and drafts a polite reschedule note to the organizer over email.
When to use it
Use it when focus blocks keep getting steamrolled by last-minute invites and you want a consistent, automated way to push back without sounding rigid. Best for people whose focus time is real but constantly contested.
How it works
- 1A new Google Calendar event triggers the workflow.
- 2A decision step checks whether the new event overlaps a tagged focus block.
- 3If it does, the agent scores the conflict using attendee count, title keywords, and organizer seniority.
- 4It queries free/busy to find two mutual alternative times.
- 5It drafts a reschedule proposal naming both options.
- 6It sends the proposal to the organizer via Gmail and flags the conflict in Slack for your awareness.
