Skills for when I go on vacation

I would love to see a skill that could help me update my calendar, slack, and email with an OOO message and decline any events scheduled during that time. It would be helpful if it could also remind my colleagues that I will be out a week before my time off.

    This functionality can already be accomplished by defining custom skills leveraging APIs to your various tools, or an RPA bot which can then be imported in Watson Orchestrate using our SDK as documented at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/watson-orchestrate?topic=watson-orchestrate-sdk

    Some of those skill are under consideration to be made available by default but thanks the SDK, such custom use-case can already be implemented.

    @Annelise MorganThis is indeed a great use-case fo Watson Orchestrate which is looking at providing the ability to compose skills as sequences of actions you need to happen for a particular need, such as let everyone know we will be OOO!

    This could be an example to build from we provide once we get there, thanks for the suggestion!
