CALENDAR COORDINATION · Workflow idea

Make calendar requests easier to handle and safer to confirm.

For a person authorized to use a calendar, interpret a plain-language request to look up events or prepare a new event. Confirm the right calendar, date, time zone, attendees, and event details; ask for clarification when information is ambiguous; and require the requester to approve a new event before it is added.

The handoff

A calendar lookup or proposed event with confirmed details and requester approval status.

Keep in mind

Calendar details can expose private schedules or create confusion when dates and time zones are unclear. Limit access to authorized calendars, verify attendee details, ask before resolving ambiguity, and require confirmation before adding an event.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose calendars and authorized users

Limit access to the calendars and people covered by the organization’s policy.

Set time zone and event defaults

Make date, duration, and location expectations clear for requesters.

Define privacy and attendee rules

Restrict schedule details and verify invitees before an event is created.

Require confirmation for calendar changes

Keep event creation paused until the requester approves a clear summary.

Keep exploring

Review and create calendar events

Turn supplied event details into a proposed calendar entry and add it only after someone confirms the time and details.
