Manual meeting scheduling can quickly become a headache for digital agencies, especially as teams grow and calendars fill up. Coordinating everyone's availability, preventing double bookings, and ensuring that every team member gets a fair slot can take up valuable time. **Automation** streamlines this process by assigning slots systematically, reducing errors and freeing you to focus on more impactful work. Now, you will build a script to automate meeting scheduling for your team.
