Approve event requests, then add them to the calendar

How it works
What happens on each run, in plain English.
Event requests pile up in a table and approvals get lost in chat. When someone adds a request, the operations manager is asked to approve it with the date, place and number of guests in front of them.
Approved events go on the calendar and the requester gets the link; declined ones get the manager's reason.
