What it does

This workflow runs a weekly audit of your calendar and turns raw meeting load into a concrete action list. It flags meetings that are recurring with no agenda, oversized (8+ attendees where you're not the owner), or back-to-back, then recommends a specific action for each: decline, delegate to a named teammate, or shorten to 25 minutes. The result lands in Slack as a ranked digest you can act on in five minutes.

When to use it

Use it when your week is buried in standing meetings and you want a recurring nudge to reclaim focus time without manually reviewing every invite. Best for managers and ICs whose calendars fill passively.

How it works

  1. 1A Friday afternoon schedule fires the audit.
  2. 2The flow pulls all of next week's events from Google Calendar.
  3. 3A scoring step classifies each meeting by recurrence, attendee count, agenda presence, and overlap with focus blocks.
  4. 4A decision step assigns each flagged meeting a recommended action and a short rationale.
  5. 5The ranked digest is posted to your Slack DM channel for review.
