How it works

Integrating your Google Workspace with Aboard ensures automated calendar bookings happen without missing a beat. Making the integration is easy and means all Event Tasks can be inserted into users’ calendar with the appropriate Event Owner without any action needed by each person.

As a reminder Event Owners are then able to make any necessary changes to the calendar bookings as if they had booked it themselves. Magic!

FAQ

What happens if nobody is available at the desired time?

Aboard will gather the available times of all participants and select a time closest to the desired time (either earlier or later on that same day). If there’s no available time slot, Aboard will book the original time, regardless if there’s an event.

What happens if some Attendees are unavailable at the desired time?

We’ll find a time that works for all.
