Run performance review cycles from Google Calendar
A review cycle is a calendar problem before it is a people problem. Give an Orkeste agent the cycle dates and the list of managers and reports; it creates the events in Google Calendar or Outlook once HR approves, then posts reminders to managers in Slack before each deadline.
The problem
HR sends the cycle email, then spends three weeks chasing. Deadlines slip and the 1:1s are booked in the last two days.
How the workflow runs
Runs: When you start the cycle, then every week until it closes.
Read the cycle: The agent reads the dates and the people from Airtable, Notion or the run.
Prepare the events: It prepares the self-review deadline, the feedback window and the 1:1s.
Approve: The batch of events waits in Validations for HR.
Create the events: Approved events are created with the right attendees.
Remind: Each week, it posts the upcoming deadlines to the managers' Slack channel.
No event lands in anyone's calendar before HR approves the batch.
Who does what
Cycle coordinator: Creates the events and sends the reminders.
HR (human): Approves the calendar before anything lands in it.
What this workflow does not do
Creates events; it does not move or delete them once created.
Does not see who has submitted a review unless you track it in Airtable.
