Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a free-slot search?
This workflow reports free and busy information for a set of calendars; it does not need to turn that information into suggested meeting slots.
What should the request or automation specify?
Specify the calendars and the time range to check. Make sure the time minimum comes before the time maximum.
