Outlook Morning Travel-Buffer Sweep with Daily Briefing
Each morning it scans the day's Outlook meetings, inserts transit holds between every consecutive offsite appointment, and posts a single Teams briefing summarizing your route.

What it does
Instead of reacting to each new invite, this workflow does one clean pass over your whole day before it starts. Every morning it pulls the day's offsite meetings, computes transit between each consecutive pair, blocks the buffers in Outlook in one batch, and sends you a Teams message laying out the whole travel plan with warnings for any impossible connection.
When to use it
For people whose calendars are mostly stable overnight and who want a predictable, once-a-day plan rather than constant calendar churn. Ideal for territory managers and consultants who want to glance at one briefing and know if the day is physically achievable.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger fires each weekday morning.
- 2It loads every Outlook event for today that has a physical location, in time order.
- 3For each consecutive pair, a routing API call returns the drive time between addresses.
- 4A logic step flags any leg where available gap is shorter than required travel.
- 5Transit holds are batch-created in Outlook for the legs that need them.
- 6A formatted day plan — stops, drive times, and tight-connection warnings — is posted to Microsoft Teams.
