Assign leads dynamically based on real-time rep availability

Lead assignment rules are evaluated against static criteria and don't account for whether an assigned rep is currently available or has open calendar slots. A rep on PTO, with a full calendar, or with no near-term availability can still receive a lead assignment with no automatic fallback.
Factor real-time calendar availability into lead assignment logic so that only reps who are currently available and have open slots within a defined window are included in the eligible assignment pool. Reps with no availability should be automatically excluded or routed to a fallback.
Assigning a lead to an unavailable rep is functionally the same as not assigning it at all, except it looks like it was handled. Availability-aware assignment ensures leads always land with someone who can actually follow up, directly improving speed-to-contact and conversion rates on inbound demand.

Chili Piper should factor in real-time availability when assigning leads, so that only reps who are currently available and have open calendar slots are included in the assignment pool.
Assigning leads to unavailable reps delays follow-up and reduces conversion. Availability-aware assignment ensures leads always land with someone who can act on them immediately.
