Defend a focus block by rebooking the meeting someone scheduled over it
When a teammate books a meeting that collides with a protected focus block, this proposes a new time on a shared free slot, moves the meeting there.

- OutputNotify attendees of the move in SlackSlack
What it does
Instead of just declining, this actively rescues both the meeting and your focus block. When an invite lands on top of a protected hold, it finds a time that works for all required attendees, reschedules the meeting into that slot, and posts a heads-up to the relevant Slack channel so no one is surprised by the move.
When to use it
For team leads who need to keep recurring focus blocks but can't simply reject collaborative meetings outright. Use it when rescheduling is the right answer rather than declining.
How it works
- 1A new event on your Google Calendar triggers the flow.
- 2The flow checks the invite against your protected focus blocks.
- 3A branch exits if there's no conflict; otherwise it continues to defend the block.
- 4It queries free/busy for all required attendees and selects the earliest mutual opening.
- 5It updates the meeting to the new time in Google Calendar.
- 6It posts a short message to Slack tagging attendees with the old and new times.
- 7The output records that the block was protected and the meeting relocated.
