The calendar displays events from your connected Google or Microsoft accounts in a visual schedule. You can view upcoming events, create new ones, RSVP, and manage your week — all without leaving Slant.
To use the calendar, you need at least one connected email and calendar account. See Email and calendar integration for setup instructions.

​
View modes

The calendar supports four view modes: Day, 3 day, Work week (Monday—Friday), and Full week (Sunday—Saturday). Switch between them using the dropdown in the top-right corner. Use the arrow buttons next to the date range to navigate forward or backward. Click Today to jump back to the current date.

​
Calendar selector

If you or your teammates have multiple calendars connected, click All calendars to choose which calendars to display. You can toggle individual calendars on or off, or select all at once. Each calendar is color-coded so you can tell at a glance which account an event belongs to.

​
Create an event

1

Click a time slot

Click or drag on the calendar grid to select a time range. A new event form appears.
2

Enter event details

Add a title, adjust the date and time, and optionally add:
  • Guests — search for people in Slant or type an email address
  • Location — enter a physical address or room name
  • Add Google Meet or Add Microsoft Teams — add a video conferencing link (depends on your calendar provider)
  • Meeting type — classify the event (Client review, Client check-in, Prospect, COI / partner, Internal, or Other)
  • Description — add notes or an agenda using the text editor
  • Event color — choose a color for the event (Google calendars only)
3

Click **Save**

The event is created on your calendar and synced to your calendar provider.
You can only create events on calendars you own. Shared calendars from teammates are read-only.

​
View event details

Click any event on the calendar to see its details, including:
  • Title, date, and time
  • Location and description
  • Participant list with RSVP status (accepted, declined, maybe, or no reply)
  • A link to any associated meeting
Private events are marked with a icon. If the event organizer has enabled Hide private events in their email and calendar settings, private events won’t create meetings or trigger the notetaker. From the detail view, you can edit or delete the event.

​
RSVP to an event

When viewing an event you’re invited to, click Yes, No, or Maybe to respond. Your RSVP syncs back to your calendar provider.

​
Edit an event

Click an event to open its details, then click the icon. You can change the title, time, location, description, and participants. Changes sync to your calendar provider.

​
Delete an event

Click an event to open its details, then click the icon. You’ll be asked whether to also remove the event from your calendar provider.
  • Also remove from calendar provider (checked by default) — deletes the event from both Slant and your Google or Microsoft calendar
  • Uncheck to remove it from Slant only, keeping the original event on your calendar provider
Deleting an event cannot be undone.

​
Sync your calendar

Slant syncs calendar events automatically. To trigger a manual sync, click the icon in the top-right corner of the calendar.
Manual sync has a 5-minute cooldown between requests.

​
Calendar events and meetings

Slant automatically creates a meeting from a calendar event when all of these conditions are met:
  • The event has a specific start and end time (all-day events are excluded)
  • The event has two or more participants
  • The event is not private, or you haven’t enabled Hide private events
  • Your calendar is shared with at least one book (your own book counts — see calendar sharing)
When a meeting is created from a calendar event, the notetaker automatically joins the call if:
  • The event has a video conferencing link (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or Slack)
  • The notetaker is enabled for that book
  • The event is not a recurring event with the Skip recurring meetings setting turned on
Events that don’t meet these criteria still appear on your calendar — they just won’t have a meeting or notetaker created automatically. You can always start a meeting manually from the meetings page.
