sales leadOffer collective events that only show slots when every required host is free
weight 2 · round to Reclaim.aiMotionnone0/10No evidence describes collective/multi-host scheduling (i.e., booking links that only surface slots when all required hosts are free); the docs only cover single-host AI calendar booking, meeting assistant templates, and task scheduling. This is a plausible axis for a scheduling product, but nothing in the pack shows a collective-event or team-availability-intersection feature.
Reclaim's Scheduling Links let a sales lead share "you and your team's availability" so bookers can pick slots "across one, or many" calendars (reclaim-docs-49), and Smart Meetings claim to find times that work for all attendees (reclaim-docs-5), which is directionally aligned with collective event scheduling. However, there is no explicit documentation of a distinct 'collective' event type or of logic that strictly shows only slots where every required host is simultaneously free (vs. round-robin or single-host links). missing for 10: explicit product terminology/config for collective events, confirmation that all-hosts-free logic is enforced, independent/hands-on verification of this specific behavior.
