Send 10-Min Interview Reminders from Google Calendar to Slack DMs

This workflow automates timely interview reminders by checking the 'Interviews' Google Calendar every minute for events starting within the next 10 minutes (configurable LEAD_MINUTES). It processes each event to identify internal attendees (company domain emails), skips declined ones, and extracts key details like candidate name, role, local start time, meeting link, CV, and notes from the event description.

For each eligible attendee, it checks a Data Store ledger to prevent duplicate notifications for the same event-attendee pair. If the Slack user is found by email, a rich DM is sent using Block Kit with buttons; otherwise, it posts to a fallback channel like #recruiting-alerts with an @-mention. After sending, it logs the notification in the Data Store.

Benefits include ensuring interviewers get nudge reminders via preferred Slack instead of calendar alerts, reducing no-shows, and saving coordinators from manual pings. Ideal for recruiting teams handling high-volume interviews with external candidates, supporting links in descriptions for seamless access to CVs and notes. Enhances productivity in fast-paced hiring processes.
