Shared calendars are really useful in any workplace, helping everyone stay on the same page. Whether it's for keeping track of when people are out of the office, important product launches, or marketing events, these calendars make sure no one misses out on important dates.
Integrating these calendars into a team's communication tool like Slack makes it even easier. This way, everyone can see updates right where they chat and work every day, helping the whole team stay informed and work better together.
It's a simple but effective way to help everyone know what’s going on and plan their work accordingly.
One practical solution for teams or companies using Google Workspace and Slack was the Google Calendar for Team Events for Slack app.
Unfortunately, Google has announced that they will retire this app by September 10, 2024, and they haven't provided any direct replacements.
While Slack does support integration with Google Calendar app, it's primarily designed for personal use, not for viewing shared team events.
Right now, there aren’t any other ready-made alternatives on the market.
Teams are left with a couple of options: either develop and maintain their own custom code to bridge the gap, which can be quite a task, or try to use third-party services like Zapier or Pabbly for integration.
However, these options often involve complex setups due to the intricate nature of handling date and time data, which can be a challenging hurdle for many.
