When inbound volume is high and rep calendars fill up, prospects are forced to book meetings far in advance with no visibility from the admin side. There is no way to configure a threshold that triggers an alert when the earliest available slot across a router or workspace exceeds a defined number of days, such as 7. Admins only discover the problem after receiving complaints from prospects or noticing a drop in conversion, by which point the damage is done.

Chili Piper should allow admins to set a configurable day threshold per workspace or router, and send a proactive notification when the earliest bookable slot exceeds that threshold. This would alert the team to add more reps to the queue, adjust routing rules, or take other corrective action before prospects experience unacceptably long wait times.

High-volume inbound teams, especially those subject to seasonal spikes, have no way to monitor calendar capacity proactively. Flying blind on booking lag means routing problems surface only through prospect feedback, which is too late. A configurable availability alert turns a reactive problem into a manageable operational signal.
