Why is anyone relying on reactions for anything important and/or time sensitive?

Also, even if you’re not getting your reaction summary email timely, you can look at the email you sent and see the reactions.

Also also, if I am scheduling something first thing and it’s late in the work day, I’m messaging the key people. To do otherwise seems like bad planning/choice making/trying to get out of meeting at that time. Alternatively, I would just send the invite as the first contact. At 8:59, if the key people hadn’t responded, cancel with the message, not everyone was able to meet. How about this date and time?
