1.2. Centralize meeting calendar management, send automated notifications to participants, manage rescheduling/cancellations, and synchronize with internal/external platforms.
1.3. Enable automated reminder sequences (e.g., email, SMS, push notifications), streamline office staff communications, and eliminate no-shows and late attendance.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New meeting request via website form, email, or CRM event.
2.2. Calendar invitation received or created in an integrated platform.
2.3. Scheduled time for reminder approaches based on defined offset (e.g., 24h, 1h before meeting).

2.5. Feedback received post-meeting to trigger follow-up automations.
