  1. Set up main module
  2. Imported other modules and required libraries
  3. Added a done set in which IDs of configs will be stored
  4. Once slots for a label are found, its ID is added to the done set
  5. Added a reset time, set to 8 AM IST
  6. As soon as current time crosses 8 AM IST, the done set is reset, i.e., slots will again be checked for that day
  7. Currently, email is sent only if slots are found, not otherwise. No failure email is configured.
  8. Decision on failure email and its frequency pending.
