      Missing or late to meetings even though you're sitting in front of your computer working? Adding the Google Calendar App to Slack is a great way to stay on top of upcoming meetings and also give others that you're unaccessible when in a meeting (maybe they'll hold off on sending that message, but probably not :)). Here's how to add Google Calendar to Slack.

      Add Google Calendar to Slack

      2
      Open the Slack desktop app
      3
      In the sidebar, Click "More" and select "Apps"
      4
      Type "Calendar" into the search bar and click "Google Calendar" to add the Google Calendar app to Slack
      5
      Click "Connect Account"
      6
      Click Allow to give Google Calendar permission to integrate with Slack
      7
      Select the Google account you'd like to connect
      8
      Click "Allow"
      9
      Turn on automatic status updates (if you like!). Doing so will show you as busy on Slack whenever during any Google Calendar meeting.
