Get warned before daylight saving time throws off your meetings

Checks your list of timezones daily and warns you a day ahead when daylight saving time will shift any of them.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each tracked timezone.

The problem it solves

You schedule meetings across offices or clients in different countries, and daylight saving time doesn't change on the same day everywhere. Missing that one week where clocks are misaligned can mean you show up at the wrong time or miss a call entirely.

Who it fits

A manager, executive, or coordinator who schedules meetings across multiple time zones.

How it works

  1. Every day, the automation checks your list of tracked timezones
  2. It looks ahead to see if any of them will shift for daylight saving time tomorrow
  3. If a shift is coming, it sends you a Slack message ahead of time
What you get

Meetings that land at the right hour

You get a heads up a day ahead whenever daylight saving time is about to shift one of your meeting times.

What you get

A Slack alert warning you which timezones are about to shift for daylight saving time.

What you need

A Slack workspace, or an email account if you prefer notifications by email.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
