[Workspace] Calendar Co-Hosts Changed My Team’s Workflow
Workspace editions only apply for Business Workspace users, and are sent in addition to weekly Productivity Pings
(you can always filter previous issues by application!)
Hi friends - I'm especially proud of today's tip because another team at Google tried it last month, changed their whole workflow, and their manager thanked me for sharing it! 😁
A bit of context
I work with an operations team that hosts Weekly Office Hours. They have 5 people rotating the responsibility, which led to a clunky Google Form and Calendar process.
Adding “Co-hosts” in Appointments
When I mentioned the Appointment Scheduling feature in Google Calendar, they nodded impatiently and told me it doesn’t work because they rotate responsibility among the 5 team members.
“Why don’t you just add everyone as co-hosts?”
“Wait what.”
(that was literally how our conversation went)
This might be Google Calendar’s fault for making it tricky to find but the next time you create an Appointment Schedule, scroll all the way down and you’ll see a section where you can add co-hosts:
Now, all the co-hosts are notified of bookings, and the operation team's manager can easily assign those appointments!
