TROUBLESHOOTING

When it does not work

A failed read, an empty account, and an unavailable feature are different states. These are the real ones this workflow can show.

No briefing arrived+

What it means: The selected calendar may have no events today, it may be a weekend, or the run may have failed.

What to do: Check today's events and the automation activity.

A meeting is missing+

What it means: It may be on another calendar or outside the day calculated in the selected time zone.

What to do: Choose the correct calendar and time zone in Manage.

An attendee or location is incomplete+

What it means: That detail was not present on the Microsoft calendar event.

What to do: Update the source event; the next briefing uses the calendar's current data.
