Meeting Owner Cancel-Approval Loop via Slack
When a recurring series crosses both low-attendance and no-decision thresholds, DMs the meeting owner on Slack with the evidence and Cancel/Keep/Shrink buttons.

What it does
This workflow closes the loop between detecting a dead meeting and actually killing it. When a recurring series trips both guardrails — attendance below target and no recorded decisions over the lookback window — the flow sends the meeting's owner a direct Slack message summarizing the evidence and offering three choices: cancel the series, keep it, or shrink the invite list. Based on the owner's reply, it updates the Google Calendar event automatically, so the audit produces a real change rather than another ignored report.
When to use it
Use this when reports alone never lead to action. By routing the decision to the one person who owns the meeting and making the action a single click, it removes the friction that keeps zombie meetings alive. Best paired with an upstream detector that supplies the attendance and decision data.
How it works
- 1The flow triggers on a webhook from your detector when a series breaches both thresholds.
- 2It looks up the series owner and recent stats in Google Calendar.
- 3It DMs the owner on Slack with evidence and Cancel/Keep/Shrink buttons.
- 4A branch interprets the owner's response.
- 5It applies the choice by canceling, leaving, or trimming attendees on the calendar event.
