Incoming Invite Triage and Delegate Suggestion

When a new Outlook meeting invite arrives, it checks the day's existing load and overlap, then sends you a Teams card recommending accept, decline, delegate to a named teammate.

What it does

Intercepts each new meeting invitation as it lands, evaluates whether the requested slot pushes you over a daily meeting cap or double-books you, and gives a one-tap recommendation before you reflexively accept.

When to use it

Use it when invites pile up faster than you can triage them and you keep accepting things you should have delegated or declined. Ideal for executives and senior ICs who get many ad-hoc invites.

How it works

  1. 1A new Outlook calendar invite triggers the workflow.
  2. 2It reads the proposed time and the rest of that day's Outlook schedule.
  3. 3A logic step computes overlap and total committed hours for the day.
  4. 4If the day exceeds the cap or the slot conflicts, it picks a recommendation: delegate to a configured backup owner, propose an alternate slot, or decline with a polite reason.
  5. 5It posts an actionable Microsoft Teams card summarizing the invite and the suggested response.
