Why this matters: your team gets structured inputs and confirmed meetings — no more endless email threads.

Step 5 — Automate calendar event creation

Step 6 — Add conditional logic for scheduling flows
Use Settings → Advanced logic to adapt flows dynamically:

- If Urgent = Yes → Send immediate calendar invite.
- If Duration = >60 → Schedule prep reminder one day before meeting.

Step 7 — Send automated confirmations and reminders
Open Settings → Notifications and set up automatic emails:
- To requester: confirmation email with meeting details and calendar link.
- To attendees: invitation summary with agenda and materials.
- To manager (optional): approval notification for meetings above certain cost/time.
Use variables like @meeting_title, @preferred_date, and @attendees.

Step 8 — Enable on-update logic for post-meeting tasks
