Surprise birthday party
Friends and familyCompare possible times with the relevant participants, choose one option, and keep the preparation work attached to the plan.
Useful for: Organisers coordinating a date without involving everyone in every planning detail
Coming soon: This scenario depends on Find Best Time, which is currently documented as a preview rather than a live end-to-end scheduling workflow.
The situation
The organiser needs a workable time, but not every person involved in the occasion needs to receive the same scheduling request.
Several reasonable evenings can be difficult to weigh when each person replies with different availability.
The organiser chooses who receives the scheduling request; the guest of honour is not automatically hidden or excluded.
Once a time is chosen, tasks such as confirming details and preparing decorations still need a place to go.
A practical workflow
The intended workflow is to collect availability first, let the organiser make the decision, and then create the Event and preparation Tasks.
Offer realistic dates and time windows that could work for the people you want to include.

A useful distinction
The complete group-scheduling workflow for this scenario is currently marked coming soon because Find Best Time is a preview rather than a live, end-to-end coordination flow. The scenario still shows the planning decisions that matter: who should receive the request, how the organiser chooses the time, and which Tasks remain after the date is confirmed.
Harmonise does not provide group chat, party invitations, venue booking, contact management, or an automated party plan here.

Common questions
Short answers about how this scenario fits into Harmonise.
Not yet. The current Find Best Time experience is a preview: it does not provide a durable request, a public response page, or a connected final Event.
No. The organiser chooses who receives the scheduling request. Harmonise does not manage the surprise, party invitations, or group communications.
Use Harmonise to connect the calendar context, preparation work, and scheduling decision that this moment needs.
