Questions about this workflow
How is this different from finding free slots?
Query Free/Busy returns free and busy information for calendars. Find free slots is designed to identify available slots and enhance busy intervals with event details.
Does this reserve a time?
No. It returns availability information for planning; it does not create an event.
What should I specify?
Name the calendars and provide a start and end time for the period you want to review.
