Real-Time Overbooked-Day Alert on New Meeting Invites
When a new calendar event is created, recomputes that day's meeting load and, if it crosses your overload threshold, sends a Slack alert flagging which existing block is now…

What it does
This workflow watches for new meeting invites and reacts the moment one lands. Each time an event is created, it recalculates the total meeting load for that day and compares it against the threshold you set, such as five hours or six meetings. If the new invite pushes the day over the line, it identifies any focus block now squeezed out and sends a Slack alert so you can decline, shorten, or move the meeting before the day solidifies.
When to use it
Use it when meetings accumulate one invite at a time and you only notice you are overbooked the night before. This catches the tipping point as it happens.
How it works
- 1A new-event trigger fires when an invite is added to Google Calendar.
- 2It reads all events on the affected day to get the updated load.
- 3A branch checks whether the day now exceeds your overload threshold.
- 4If over, it flags any focus block or buffer the new meeting collides with.
- 5It posts a Slack alert naming the offending invite and the threatened block.
