Effortless Client Meeting Scheduling for CS Teams

Build intelligent QBR scheduling into your CS platform — whether clients use Google, Outlook, or reply by email.

What makes customer success scheduling hard?

Recurring QBRs break on holidays

A quarterly business review is set as a recurring event. When Q2's occurrence lands on July 4th, the RRULE expansion fails silently — the meeting shows as active on a holiday nobody will attend.

RRULE drift across DST

A bi-weekly check-in set for 2pm Eastern shifts to 3pm after spring-forward if the RRULE is expanded with a stale UTC offset. The client misses the meeting.

Client calendar visibility

CS teams can't see client calendars directly. The only way to find mutual availability is email ping-pong — 3-4 rounds for a single meeting.

The holiday RRULE trap

Without Temporal Cortex

A monthly QBR is defined as FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=FR;BYSETPOS=1 (first Friday). The CS agent asks an LLM to expand it for Q3. The LLM includes July 4, 2026 — a holiday. Nobody shows up. The EXDATE that should exclude it was never applied.

With Temporal Cortex

The agent calls expand_rrule with EXDATE:20260703T140000Z. The Truth Engine correctly excludes the July occurrence and returns the remaining dates. The next QBR is correctly scheduled for August 7.
