Integrating Calamari with Google Workspace makes managing employee information and schedules easier. This setup allows users to log in easily, automatically updates calendars, and lets you customize settings. By using this integration, companies can communicate better and avoid scheduling issues. Let’s look at how these features help improve day-to-day operations.

Key Features 🎯

  • Employees import - as Admin, you can import basic information about employees using Google Workspace. The import option considers employee information, such as names and email addresses.

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) - Integrating Calamari with Google Workspace can enable users to log in to both systems using their Google Workspace credentials. This simplifies the authentication process and provides a seamless user experience. After the integration is done, the process of logging in with Google Workspace looks as in the example below:

  • Private calendar - Calamari populates private calendars in Google Calendar where the employees can keep track of their planned absences and remote work. When an employee is out of the office, Calamari will automatically update their private calendar and decline any future meeting invitations.

  • OOO feature - This feature enables time off requests to synchronize with employees' private Google Calendar as Out Of Office events. This feature provides a precise overview of employees' availability, minimizes scheduling conflicts, and enhances communication within the team.

Tip: If you want to see only your team members, not all your company colleagues, you can also add the calendar with iCal integration.
