Integration of Google Calendar and Slack
There are hundreds of productivity tops available on the market, but Google Calendar and Slack are two of the most popular. The first is a widely used service for scheduling, planning and organizing events while the second is a cloud-based team communication platform that combines elements of instant messaging, social networking and email. Both Google Calendar and Slack have a wide range of applications, so it's only natural that they are integrated in some form. In other words, we can combine these two tops in order to make our lives easier and more efficient.
Google Calendar and Slack help us manage our time better, so we can be more productive by focusing on a specific task at a time. They also allow us to communicate with cpleagues and friends in real time, regardless of the distance.
Integration of Google Calendar and Slack
To integrate Google Calendar with Slack, you need to install a third-party app for Slack called Calbot. It's a calendar bot that allows users to send notifications about upcoming events right from Slack. A user needs to add the /calbot command to his or her channel to enable it. The command will start a menu from where you can select an event by mentioning it or selecting it from a list. After you do that, you can create a notification that will appear in Slack every time that event starts or ends. You can learn more about Calbot on its official website.
Benefits of Integration of Google Calendar and Slack
If you use both Google Calendar and Slack, integrating them is a must because it helps you manage your time better and makes your work more efficient. You don't have to switch between different programs and services just to plan your day. All you need is Google Calendar, which has all the necessary information in one place. You can also save time by sending reminders about upcoming meetings directly from Slack. Sending such reminders via email takes less time than creating calendars, adding events or using third-party calendars. Moreover, you can always go back to your schedule and add additional details about an event, so you don't have to deal with important tasks on short notice.
