Can I automate meeting slot suggestions for a team using calendar free/busy data?▼

Automated slot suggestion works by querying calendar free/busy data to propose suitable meeting times. You can specify a required meeting duration and a target window to retrieve available time slots for all attendees.

Checking multi-user calendar availability requires the gws-calendar skill and the gws bin to run the scheduling recipe. These dependencies are necessary to query Google Calendar free/busy data and identify overlapping slots.

Scheduling a 30-minute slot for five attendees is handled by querying cross-calendar availability. The skill identifies overlapping free time within a given window, like 9am-5pm, to find a time that works for everyone.

Cross-calendar scheduling supports querying availability over custom date and time windows. The recipe checks the free/busy status of all attendees across the specified range to find a suitable meeting slot.

Why does the recipe require querying free/busy status instead of reading calendar events directly?▼
