What it does

Adds a consent step to conflict resolution. On a room clash it computes the best alternative room but does not move anything yet — it sends the affected organizer an approval prompt in Microsoft Teams. If they accept, the meeting is rebooked; if they decline or time out, facilities is alerted to mediate manually.

When to use it

Use this for VIP or sensitive meetings where silently moving someone's room would be unacceptable, but you still want the system to do the legwork of finding the alternative and executing the change once a human says yes.

How it works

  1. 1Outlook fires on a conflicting room booking.
  2. 2A logic step picks the meeting to move and finds the best comparable free room.
  3. 3The flow sends the organizer an approval card in Microsoft Teams with the proposed new room.
  4. 4A logic branch waits for the response: approve, decline, or timeout.
  5. 5On approve, it rebooks the meeting in Outlook and confirms in Teams; on decline or timeout, it escalates to the facilities channel for manual handling.
