Calendar

Calendar is the shared schedule for a workspace. Every member sees the same events, and the minions assigned to the workspace can read and write them too. It is the place to answer “what is this team doing this week” — and the place a minion puts something when you ask it to schedule anything.

Every time is rendered in your own timezone (set in your account settings), so a meeting created by a colleague in another country lands at the correct local hour on your grid.

Switch between Month and Week in the header. Month view shows up to three events per day with a “+N more” link that drills into the week; week view shows an all-day row above a time grid with a current-time line, and overlapping events are split into side-by-side lanes.

Create and adjust events directly on the grid:

  • Click an empty cell or slot to create an event there
  • Drag across the time grid to create an event spanning that range
  • Drag an event to move it, or drag its top/bottom edge to resize it
  • In the all-day row, drag a bar sideways to move it or drag its left/right edge to make it span more days

Dragging snaps to 15 minutes, the same step the time fields offer.

An event carries participants — the members and minions it is actually for. The author is not automatically the subject: you can create an event on a colleague’s behalf, and so can a minion.

ParticipantsWhat it means
One personA personal event, whoever created it
SeveralA group event, e.g. a weekly standup
NoneAn event that belongs to nobody — a workspace announcement, or a project milestone

To create an event with no participants, tick No participants in the editor. If a project is also selected, the event reads as that project’s event (a release date, a delivery deadline); with no project, it is a workspace-wide event.

Any event can optionally be linked to a project. The project field lists the workspace’s active projects — plus any archived project already attached to the event being edited, so a stored value never silently disappears.

Two independent dropdowns narrow the grid, and both apply at once:

  • Members — whose events to show, plus an entry for workspace events that have no participants
  • Projects — which projects to show, plus a No project entry

Both filters work by hiding, so a project or member added while you have the calendar open shows up straight away rather than staying invisible until you notice and tick it.

An event can repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, every N periods, optionally ending on a date. A repeating event is stored once, so:

  • Editing applies to the whole series. The editor says so when you open a repeating event.
  • Deleting offers both options: Delete this occurrence suppresses a single instance (useful for a standup that falls on a public holiday), Delete all removes the series.

Repeats follow the wall clock, not a fixed number of hours: a 10:00 standup stays at 10:00 across a daylight-saving transition.

When someone — or a minion acting on their behalf — adds you to an event, you get an in-app notification. Only newly added participants are notified, so nudging a meeting by fifteen minutes does not spam everyone on it.

Email for this is off by default. Turn it on under Notification settings (linked from the calendar header) if you want invitations in your inbox too.

Minions assigned to the workspace can list, create, update, and delete events. In practice that means you can hand scheduling to them in chat:

Events a minion creates are marked with the minion as their author, and the participants are whoever the event is for. A minion can also be a participant itself — useful when a routine or workflow is what occupies that slot.
