Calendar
Your Google Calendar with Sydbar's dates on top: follow-ups, renewals and invoices due.
Open Calendar in the side rail.
The views
- Week on a computer: seven days, an hourly grid and an All day row, with Today and previous and next week.
- Agenda on a phone: one heading per day, or "Nothing scheduled."
On large screens a sidebar adds a small month view, a checkbox per Google calendar (up to 12 shown), Sydbar dates, and your booking links. Hidden calendars are remembered for the business.
Sydbar dates
| Date | Comes from |
|---|---|
| Follow-up | A follow-up you set on a conversation |
| Cancel by | A subscription you plan to cancel |
| Renews | A tracked subscription's next charge |
| Invoice due | A sent invoice that isn't paid |
Event details
Open an event to see its guests (the first 8, then "+N more"), the client and conversations it relates to ("In your mail"), and Open in Google Calendar. Events added from a conversation link back to it.
Add an event from an email
On a conversation, choose Follow up → Add to calendar…. If the email spells out a date it's filled in. The event goes on your own calendar with no attendees. See Follow-ups.
Adding events
Three ways, all onto the business's primary Google Calendar:
- On the calendar: press New event, or click an empty hour in the week. Title, date, start and end, guests and a note. Guests are email addresses; Google sends each one an invitation. Without guests nothing is sent to anyone.
- From a client's chat (Ask Sydbar): ask for a call or a deadline, for example "put a kickoff with Mara on Tuesday at 10". Sydbar proposes it as a card; Apply adds it, and the card links to the event once it's on your calendar.
- From an agent: the
add_calendar_eventtool in Agent tools. Inviting guests is an email from you, so it needs a key you allowed to send.
Requirements
The calendar needs Google connected for the business with calendar access. Without it, Sydbar shows its own dates only and says why:
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| No Google account is connected to {Business} | Connect Gmail through Google in Settings → Connections. |
| Reconnect Google in Connections and allow calendar access | Reconnect and allow calendar access on Google's screen. |
| Google Calendar isn't switched on for Sydbar's Google Cloud project yet | The Calendar API needs enabling on the server's Google project. |
| Google Calendar didn't respond | Try again in a minute. |
