Article summary

You can sync Microsoft 365 or Google calendars with your Slate Events, Scheduler, and Availability calendars.

Two-way calendar integrations

Availability windows set in the Availability Slate tool appear in your external calendar. Availability also respects your external calendar’s availability.

Syncing calendars on another’s behalf

Unless you have their password, there’s no way to create this type of calendar integrations for someone else. Because users sign in to their own calendar providers, they must add these integrations themselves.
