Calendar Power

A shared team calendar, run from Slack

The Calendar power gives your workspace one shared Google Calendar that everyone schedules into from Slack — by reaction, by command, or by asking Via to find a time. Each member links their own Google account, so free/busy scheduling reflects real availability.

Connect your Google account

The team calendar is owned by Viably’s service account, while each member connects their own Google account for scheduling. That split keeps one canonical shared calendar while still reading each person’s real availability.

One shared calendar

Viably maintains a single service-account-owned calendar for the whole team, so events live in one place rather than scattered across personal calendars.

Per-member OAuth

Each member authorizes their Google account once from the /calendar connect prompt. That lets Via see free/busy for scheduling without anyone sharing calendars manually.

Three ways to add an event

React, command, or converse — whichever is closest to hand.
Step 1

React with 🗓️

Add a calendar reaction (🗓️, 📅, or 📆) to a message and Viably offers to turn it into an event on the shared team calendar.

Step 2

Use /calendar

Run the /calendar command to see your agenda and create an event directly, without needing a source message.

Step 3

Ask Via to find a slot

Say “@Via find 30 minutes for the three of us this week” and Via checks free/busy across members to propose times that actually work.

One agenda for everything

/calendar isn’t only Google events — it’s a unified personal agenda that pulls together everything with a date attached, so you get a single place to see what’s coming up.

📅 Calendar events

Events on the shared team Google Calendar.

📋 Tasks

Your assigned tasks with due dates.

🐛 Issues

Tracked issues that have a date attached.

⏰ Reminders

Scheduled reminders, mirrored from the Reminders power.

Reminder mirroring. When you schedule a reminder, Viably writes a mirror event onto the calendar and de-duplicates it in the agenda — so a reminder shows up once, not twice, even though it lives in two systems.
