CALENDAR INFORMATION SUPPORT · Workflow idea

Keep scheduling help aligned with the latest calendar details.

Make approved calendar information available to a scheduling assistant and keep its event options current as the calendar changes. This helps a person answer schedule questions or prepare a possible next step without relying on stale details. Event owners remain responsible for confirming what may be changed or shared.

The handoff

A calendar-aware answer or proposed next step, ready for an authorized person to confirm.

Keep in mind

Calendar details can reveal private plans, participants, and locations. Limit access to authorized requesters, expose only information needed to answer the question, and require an event owner to verify the exact details and approve any change or wider sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose calendars and permitted users

Identify which calendars are in scope and who may ask questions about them.

Set event information boundaries

Decide which details may be used in an answer and which requests must go directly to an event owner.

Assign event-change approvers

Name who may confirm new, changed, or canceled events before a calendar is updated.

Review privacy and access regularly

Check that calendar access and event details remain appropriate for the people using the assistant.
