About This Automation
Job and project scheduling involves manually receiving requests, checking staff availability across multiple calendars, verifying skill matches, and coordinating confirmations.
Automation reads incoming requests, instantly matches them against real-time staff availability and skills, creates calendar events, notifies all parties, and logs the job in the project system. The result is faster scheduling, better resource utilization, and fewer conflicts.

How The Automation Works
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A new email, chat message, or form submission containing a job or project request is captured and parsed for key details such as date, scope, and client name.
The automation reads the request and extracts structured data: job type, preferred dates, duration, client, and any special requirements or skill needs.
The automation queries and the resource capacity spreadsheet to identify all staff members available during the requested time window.
The automation compares the job requirements against staff skills, certifications, and current workload to rank the best-fit candidates.
The automation creates a event with the assigned staff member, client details, and job scope, and sends calendar invitations.
Automated emails and messages are sent to the assigned staff member and client confirming the scheduled date, time, and job details.
The job is automatically created, linked to the client record, assigned to the staff member, and tagged with relevant metadata.
A summary message is posted to the team channel with the job details, assigned staff, and any dependencies or notes.
