Use the /calbot command to read and write to your Google or Microsoft calendar.
e.g. Type /calbot add Meet with Stewart 9am Mon to create a new event on your calendar.
Add to Slack
Click the Add to Slack button to install the Calbot app.
Note that only you will have access to your private calendars and that interactions with Calbot are private and visible only to you.
Slack team members can only access calendars that they own or have been shared with them and must have their own Calbot accounts.
Using Slack type /calbot connect followed by the email address you used when signing up for Calbot. If you haven't signed up yet, we'll guide you through the process of setting up an account.
Look for an email in your inbox and click on the link provided. Check your spam folder if you don't receive it after a few minutes.
Type /calbot add from any Slack channel followed by the event title, date and time in any order.
Calbot will process the command and create a new event in your primary calendar.
Calbot can recognize various date/time formats such as:
If a date isn't included, Calbot will assume you mean the current day.
If an end time isn't specified, Calbot will create a one-hour event.
If a time isn't included, Calbot will create an all-day event.
If you have more than one calendar (e.g. personal, work, kids), you can tell Calbot which one you want the event created in.
Just type /calbot add.calendarname, where calendarname is the name of the specific calendar (with spaces removed).
You can see a list of your calendar names by typing /calbot calendars.
You can add reminders by typing +remind anywhere in the command.
Alternatively you can use +popup or +email if you want just a notification or an email (but not both).
By default your reminders will be delivered 10 minutes before the start of the event. If you prefer a different time, simply append a duration like this:
You can add a location by typing @ or at followed by the venue (e.g. "@The Trappist" or "at The Trappist"). It works best if you include the location at the very end of the command.
Add guests/attendees to the event simply by adding their email addresses in the command.
Type /calbot list from any Slack channel followed by a day or date, otherwise Calbot will assume you want today's schedule.
Calbot will return events from all owned and shared calendars for that particular day(s). Calbot recognizes date formats such as:
If you want your schedule for the entire week, type /calbot listweek.
As with the add feature, you can specify from which calendar you want your schedule returned.
Just type /calbot list.calendarname, where calendarname is the name of the specific calendar (with spaces removed).
This also works with /calbot listweek.calendarname.
You can see a list of your calendar names by typing /calbot calendars.
Type /calbot help to see the list of commands.
