What it does

Watches your Outlook room calendars for overlapping bookings on the same physical resource. When a true conflict appears, it picks a loser using priority rules (attendee count, organizer seniority tag, who booked first), finds a comparable open room for that meeting, moves it, and tells the affected organizer where their meeting went.

When to use it

Run this when conference rooms get double-booked faster than facilities can mediate — typically in offices where calendar resources are shared and the room-mailbox auto-accept setting lets conflicts slip through.

How it works

  1. 1Outlook fires on a new or updated event that books a room resource.
  2. 2The flow pulls all events on that room for the same window and checks for true time overlap.
  3. 3A logic step scores both meetings and selects the one to move (smaller, later-booked, or lower-tagged).
  4. 4It queries free rooms of similar capacity and books the loser into the best match.
  5. 5The original conflicting slot is released and the calendar invite is updated.
  6. 6Both organizers get a Slack DM with the new room, the reason, and a one-click revert link.
