How to add Google Calendar to Slack

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.

Open the Slack desktop app

In the sidebar, Click "More" and select "Apps"

Type "Calendar" into the search bar and click "Google Calendar" to add the Google Calendar app to Slack

Click "Connect Account"

Click Allow to give Google Calendar permission to integrate with Slack

Select the Google account you'd like to connect

Click "Allow"

Turn on automatic status updates (if you like!). Doing so will show you as busy on Slack whenever during any Google Calendar meeting.

Open the Google Calendar App

Click the down arrow next to Google Calendar

Click the star icon

Click "Starred"
