Connecting a calendar to a Workspace

Syncing a client calendar to a workspace

Workspaces let you run each client under its own branded profile, with its own scheduling link, email and headline. You can now connect a calendar to a workspace as well.

This is useful if you work embedded with a client and keep a calendar on their system. Connect that client calendar to their workspace, keep your own calendar connected under your default account settings, and each set of calls is added to the appropriate calendar.

How it works

A workspace calendar determines where calls booked under that workspace are added. For example, calls booked through the 'Acme' workspace scheduling link are added to the 'Acme' calendar, while calls booked through your default link are added to your default calendar.

Conflict checking works differently. Honeit checks your availability across every calendar you have connected, whether it belongs to a workspace or your default account. You will not be offered a time slot in one workspace when you are already booked in another.

If a workspace has no calendar connected, calls booked under it are added to whichever calendar you chose to receive events in your default settings.

Connect a workspace calendar

  • Switch to the workspace using the Workspaces menu in the top right

  • Go to "Workspace Profiles" and select the workspace

  • Scroll to "Workspace Calendar"

  • Click "Connect Google" or "Connect Microsoft"

  • Follow the prompts to give Honeit permission to access the calendar

**If you are on Outlook and you see a message that admin approval is required, your IT administrator needs to approve the sync before you can continue.

Outlook busy statuses

If you connect an Outlook calendar, you can choose which busy statuses block your availability. Click "edit" next to "Outlook busy statuses" and select the statuses Honeit should treat as unavailable. By default these are Away / Out Of Office, Busy, Tentative and Working Elsewhere.

If a calendar needs reconnecting

If a workspace calendar falls out of sync and needs to be reconnected, your scheduled calls still go through. Call details are sent as a calendar invite attachment in the scheduled call confirmation email, so you and the candidate can add them manually.

Workspace email and headline

The workspace email and professional headline on this page appear on that workspace's scheduling link page. Leave either blank to fall back to your base account details.

Availability rules and the rest of your scheduling preferences live in Scheduling & Calendar. You can jump there from the link at the bottom of the workspace profile.

Remove a workspace calendar

Click the trash icon next to the connected calendar. Calls booked under that workspace will be added to your default calendar instead.
