Questions about this workflow
How is this different from finding free slots?
Query Free/Busy Information returns free and busy data for a set of calendars. Find free slots is designed to surface potential slots and may include event details.
Does the action schedule an event?
No. It returns availability information to help you choose a time.
What does Census contribute?
The source context is the Census bureau app, but it exposes no trigger events. Start this workflow with a webhook and supply the review context in the request.
