Connect your calendar to Alfy

Connecting your Google or Outlook (Microsoft) calendar lets Alfy suggest coffee chat times when you're free. Alfy only reads your busy times, never the details of your events, and you can connect from Slack, Microsoft Teams or the web dashboard.

Connect in Slack#

1. Go to Alfy's Home tab and find the ⭐ Miscellaneous section.
2. Click 📅 Connect Calendar.
3. In the Connect Calendar window, click 📅 Connect Google Calendar or 📅 Connect Microsoft Calendar.
4. Choose your account and allow access.

You can also connect from a match's group DM with the 📅 Calendar Settings button.

Connect in Microsoft Teams#

1. Type settings to Alfy and click ⚙️ Open settings.
2. Click 📅 Connect calendar, then 📅 Connect Outlook or 📅 Connect Google.
3. Allow access in your browser, then come back and click ✅ I've connected my calendar.

You can also connect from the Schedule your chat dialog with 📅 Connect calendar.

Connect in the web dashboard#

1. Open your personal settings in the web dashboard.
2. In the Calendar section, click Connect calendar.
3. Pick Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar and allow access.

Choose calendars or disconnect#

• Slack: click 📅 Edit Calendar Settings. In Calendar Settings, pick the calendars under "Select calendars to check for availability" and click Save, or click Disconnect calendar.
• Teams: click 📅 Edit Calendar Settings in the settings dialog, or ⚙️ Calendar settings in the Schedule your chat dialog.
• Web dashboard: click Edit calendar settings.

At least one calendar must stay selected. To stop the sync entirely, disconnect.

Good to know#

• You can connect one calendar provider at a time. To switch, disconnect the current one first.
• If your connection expires, Alfy asks you to reconnect.
• A connected calendar also lets Alfy skip you when you're out of office, if the program uses that option.
