The problem it solves

You lose track of how much of your week actually goes to meetings versus real work. Canceled meetings and schedule changes slip through the cracks, and nobody has an easy record of what happened when.

Who it fits

Anyone who wants to track their calendar, spot meeting patterns, and get a daily schedule summary without manual logging.

How it works

  1. A new, updated, or canceled calendar event triggers the workflow
  2. The event is logged to a spreadsheet and automatically categorized as a meeting, one-on-one, interview, demo, or focus time
  3. A Slack notification confirms the change, and a cancellation gets flagged separately
  4. Every morning at 8 AM, the system tallies total meeting time and busy percentage for the day
  5. A daily schedule and stats summary is posted to Slack
