Before
The user likely had to open the calendar, create an event that generated a meeting link, and then copy the link into Slack. This required switching between tools and manually completing the handoff to the requester.
How it works
- Receive the user's Slack slash command requesting an instant meeting.
- Create a calendar event that includes a Google Meet link.
- Send the generated meeting link back to the user through Slack.
Workflow details
- Command received: The workflow starts when a user submits a slash command through Slack requesting an instant meeting link.
- Meeting created: It automatically creates a Google Calendar event configured to include a Google Meet link.
- Link delivered: After the event is created, the workflow sends the resulting Google Meet link back to the user through Slack.
- Operational result: The user receives a ready-to-use meeting link in the same chat-based workflow, avoiding the need to switch tools and coordinate the link manually.
What changed
The meeting creation and link handoff now happen automatically after the Slack command is received, with the result delivered back in Slack instead of requiring a manual calendar-to-chat transfer.
Work removed
Opening the calendar, creating the meeting event, copying the generated meeting link, switching to Slack, and manually sending the link to the requester.
Expected outcome
At least two recurring manual actions—the meeting creation and link delivery—are removed for each request, with a ready-to-use meeting link returned through Slack.
