What it does

Instead of silently absorbing every double-booking, this turns each new conflict into tracked work. The moment an Outlook event is created or moved into a slot that overlaps something already on the calendar, it spins up a ClickUp task describing both events, proposing two or three alternative times, and assigning it to whoever owns the meeting that should move. The task is due before the earlier meeting begins so nothing slips.

When to use it

For teams that run scheduling through a shared assistant or ops coordinator and want conflicts handled as accountable tasks rather than ad-hoc Slack pings. Ideal when an EA manages several executives' calendars and needs an auditable queue of reschedules.

How it works

  1. 1An Outlook event-created/updated trigger fires in real time.
  2. 2The workflow checks the new event's window against existing Outlook events for an overlap.
  3. 3Branch logic exits quietly if there's no conflict.
  4. 4It pulls candidate open slots from Outlook free/busy for the movable meeting.
  5. 5A ClickUp task is created with both events, suggested times, owner assignment, and a pre-meeting due date.
