When to use it

Scenario 2, customer consultation Customer asks for online consultation. + New meeting → CONSULTATION → ONLINE → Zoom link. Customer participant. Save.

Scenario 3, recurring training Monthly training. + New meeting → TRAINING → Recurrence: monthly 1st Thursday. Save. System generates 12 months.

Scenario 4, meeting cancellation Team meeting tomorrow. Event interrupts → Cancel meeting → reason: "Force majeure" → Notify participants ON. Auto-email.

Scenario 5, post-meeting notes Consultation done. Complete meeting → notes: "Customer books Trend color in 3 months." Also saved on customer profile.

Tips

  • ORGANIZER role is automatic, you're the creator.
  • REQUIRED vs OPTIONAL distinction helps meeting priority.
  • Duplication is fast, don't manually make 5 similar meetings.
  • Recurrence series edit is cautious, may affect whole series.
  • Cancel notify is courtesy-mandatory, don't leave participants with non-existent meeting.
  • Complete notes are auditable, be detailed.
