Reply Handling (Optional Extension) This optional workflow handles email replies after availability options have been sent. It extends the main scheduling flow by enabling two-way, email-based confirmation.

This extension closes the loop by turning email replies into real actions — without requiring booking links or manual follow-ups. Typical reply examples 1 → Confirms the suggested time and creates the calendar event 2 → Requests alternative time slots and continues the scheduling flow When to use this Email-first scheduling (no Calendly / booking pages) High-touch or human-like scheduling flows Sales calls, interviews, consultations, internal meetings
