Flag low-value recurring meetings and nudge owners on Slack
Reads the meeting-cost table in Coda, flags recurring meetings whose computed cost exceeds a threshold while attendance keeps dropping.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
This workflow closes the loop between measuring meeting cost and actually acting on it. It reads your existing Coda cost table, applies a low-value test (high dollar cost combined with declining or low attendance), and reaches out to each flagged meeting's owner on Slack with a specific, polite recommendation.
When to use it
Use it once you already track meeting cost in Coda and want gentle, automated accountability instead of a quarterly meeting purge. Ideal for teams trying to build a self-correcting meeting culture.
How it works
- 1A weekly schedule starts the run after the cost-audit workflow has refreshed the Coda table.
- 2The flow reads all rows from the Coda meeting-cost table.
- 3It filters to meetings where dollar cost is above the threshold and attendance ratio is below target, marking them low value.
- 4For each flagged meeting it builds a tailored recommendation: cancel, halve the duration, or cut optional attendees.
- 5It looks up the owner's Slack handle from the row and sends a direct message with the cost figure and the suggestion.
- 6It writes a flagged flag and the date of the nudge back to the Coda row so owners are not pinged twice in the same cycle.
