Automatically add travel time blockers to calendar using Google Directions API

Automatically add Travel time blockers before Appointments

This bot automatically adds Travel time blockers to your calendar, so you never come late to an appointment again.

How it works

• Trigger: The workflow is initiated daily at 7 AM by a "Schedule Trigger".
• AI Agent: An "AI Agent" node orchestrates the main logic.
• Fetch events: It uses the get_calendar_events tool to retrieve all events scheduled for the current day.
• Identify events with location: It then filters these events to identify those that have a specified location.
• Check for existing travel time Blockers: For each event with a location, it checks if a Travel time blocker already exists. Events that do not have such a blocker are marked for processing.
• Calculate travel time: Using the Google Directions API it determines how lot it takes to get to the location of the event. The starting location is by default your Home Address, unless there is a previous event within 2 hours before the event, in which case it will use the location of that previous event.
• Create Travel time blocker: Finally, it uses the create_calendar_event tool to create the Travel time blocker with a duration equal to the calculated travel time + 10 minutes for buffer.
