Questions about this workflow
Does a busy result tell me what the event is?
The free/busy action returns availability information. It does not necessarily provide event details.
Can it check unconfirmed proposals?
Yes. Tell Notis to extract proposed times from the selected conversation data and check only when the time window is clear.
Will it confirm the time in Botpress?
No. This workflow checks calendar availability and reports the result; it does not send a reply.
