Move a meeting (no apology email)
Quickly shift a meeting to a new time, no notification email, just the move.
The prompt
Move my [TIME] meeting to [NEW TIME].
This is the lightweight version of rescheduling. For external meetings where you want a draft apology email, see Reschedule a meeting. This entry is for the quick “just move it” case.
What alfred_ does
- Finds the meeting (by time, attendee, or active context, “that”)
- Updates the calendar event to the new time
- Sends an updated invite to attendees automatically (this is built into Google Calendar / Outlook, alfred_ doesn’t write a separate email)
- Confirms the move
Active context: “that” / “it”
If alfred_ just told you about a meeting, “move that to…” works without naming it.
alfred_: “You have a 3pm with Marc.” you: “Move that to 4pm”
Same after a calendar query: “What’s on my calendar tomorrow?” → list shown → “Push the 9am to 10.”
Time math
alfred_ understands relative shifts:
- “Push the 3pm by an hour” → 4pm
- “Move my 1:1 to next available slot” → finds the next open time
- “Shift everything tomorrow back by 30 min” → bulk shift
- “Move my afternoon to tomorrow” → bulk move
When to use the apology version instead
Switch to Reschedule a meeting when:
- The meeting is with a client or external party
- You’re rescheduling more than once and want to acknowledge it
- The move is awkward (last-minute, after a no-show, etc.)
- You want alfred_ to draft something warmer than a stock invite update

Best for
Personal blocks, recurring 1:1s, and any meeting where the move doesn't need an email apology, just an updated calendar invite.
