Hebrew term or phrase: שוטף

From a business email correspondence: "נשוחח על כך בשוטף הקרוב בנינו". what would "שוטף" be in this context?

Thank you!

English translation:regular/scheduled upcoming meeting

Explanation:
As I understand it, it just a kind of awkward jargon used by the writer to refer to a meeting or event that happens on a regular basis and in which he and the addressee are participating.
I would say that it is probably a regular business meeting (in person or by phone) that the two are having once in a while.

Next (weekly call)

Explanation:
Not enough context.

RESCHEDULING THE CALL
I would like to use Doodle to find a new time starting the WEEK OF
SEPTEMBER 14th for our call. For now, I'm assuming that we will have
weekly calls but we can discuss that during our initial discussions.
Please follow the link below to provide input on when you could
participate. You'll see that I've included a relatively narrow window as
there are only a few hours during the day when I felt the majority of time
zones could reasonable participate. If none of these times work for you
please e-mail me and suggest other time. I'll work to try and reconcile
everyone's schedule.

brainstorming session

Explanation:
It may be that this is an "in" word being used for a brainstorming session by these people who would appear to work together. This comes to mind because of the usual meaning of שוטף, which is to flood: a brainstorming session, being a meeting in which participants try to "flood" the atmosphere with as many ideas as possible. However, I have not heard of this word being used in this way before, hence the low confidence level.
