AttendanceBot easily integrates with your Google or Outlook calendar. You'll have the option of subscribing a public calendar to view your team's leave on a shared calendar, or integrating with a personal calendar to automatically set OOO and block unavailable time based on requested leave.


To integrate, simply message "cal" as a DM to AttendanceBot and follow the prompts.


For personal calendar integration, which allows you to automatically set OOO and block time in Outlook or Gcal, select "Enable" for the appropriate personal calendar and follow the link provided. This will walk you through an automatic sync  process with your calendar provider.
