The problem it solves

Scheduling across time zones means it's easy to book a meeting on a day that's a holiday somewhere on your team. Nobody notices until someone doesn't show up, and by then it's too late to reschedule gracefully.

Who it fits

Remote or distributed teams managing calendars across multiple countries.

How it works

  1. A scheduled check runs weekly against your Google Calendar
  2. Upcoming events are compared against public holidays for your selected countries
  3. Any conflicts are identified
  4. A nearby available business day is suggested for each conflict
  5. A digest of conflicts and suggested new dates is posted to Slack
What you get

Holiday conflicts caught before they happen

You get a weekly Slack digest flagging any meetings that land on public holidays, along with suggested new dates.

What you get

A Slack message listing any holiday conflicts and suggested reschedule dates.

What you need

A Google Calendar account and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
