Workflow Summary
- A user sends an inquiry via email (e.g., about a product or service).
The agent replies automatically, providing available time slots for a meeting.
Upon receiving the preferred time from the user:
- The agent confirms the slot.
- Schedules the meeting with the assigned sales team member.
- Adds the event to the appropriate Google Calendar.
Both the user and the sales representative receive the calendar invite once the meeting is confirmed.
