Calendar & scheduling

See your calendar beside your actions, subscribe to published calendars, and book a meeting with workspace members at a time that suits everyone

The calendar shows your connected calendars and feeds by week or day, with your scheduled meetings on it, and the same events appear in the right-hand rail of Today. From it (or from the Meetings page) you can schedule a meeting with workspace members: Exponential finds times inside everyone's working hours and sends real calendar invites. A scheduled meeting is a future booking; once it happens and is recorded it becomes a meeting.

The calendar, week view

Where to find it

Calendar. It is not in the sidebar; Today's rail links to it, and the bottom bar on a phone has a Calendar tab. Calendar connections live on Settings → Integrations.

How to read it

  • Week and Day views; Today, Previous and Next to move; a month picker on the right.
  • Events come from every connected calendar and feed. Refresh events pulls the latest; feeds also refresh themselves every 15 minutes.
  • Under Calendars you see what is connected, with Disconnect calendar for each, and can Add Outlook or Add calendar feed.

How to connect a calendar

  • Calendar feeds work with any calendar that can publish an ICS address, Outlook included, and need no account link: click Add calendar feed, paste the published address, and events appear within 15 minutes.
  • Google Calendar is in early access while Google's verification completes; request access from Settings → Integrations.
  • Outlook connects from the calendar's Add Outlook button where the installation has it configured.

How to schedule a meeting

  1. Click Schedule meeting (on the calendar or the Meetings page).
  2. Choose the Workspace, the Attendees (workspace members) and a Duration.
  3. Click Find times. Suggestions fall inside every attendee's working hours (set under Settings → Profile); tick Include times outside working hours to widen the search, which still stays between 07:00 and 20:00 on each attendee's own clock.
  4. Pick a time and click Schedule & send invites.

The Schedule meeting dialog Every attendee receives an iCalendar invite by email, so the meeting lands in whatever calendar they use.

To move a meeting, cancel it and book again; the cancellation goes out as a calendar update to the same invite.

  • Ceremonies — an occurrence can link to a scheduled meeting: Ceremonies.
  • Integrations — where Google Calendar access is requested and feeds are managed: Integrations.
  • Profile — your working hours and time zone drive the suggestions: Your settings.

FAQ

Why are there no times before 07:00 or after 20:00? That window is fixed, judged on each attendee's local time, even with the working-hours box unticked.

Can I invite someone outside the workspace? Not yet. Attendees are workspace members; add a guest to the workspace first.

My feed's events are stale. Feeds refresh every 15 minutes; Refresh events forces it. If nothing changes, the published address may have been regenerated on the other side.
