Promote efficient time allocation by automatically scraping calendar data

ScheduleScraper

This is a script I created to scrape my co-workers' calendars for unbooked interview times. The script then parses this data, formats it into an email or writes to a shared spreadsheet. The purpose of this app is to increase efficiency within the team and allocate hours to where they are needed most.
