How do calendar integrations work, and when can Harriet book meetings?

Calendar features depend on which calendar integration is enabled and which user has connected their calendar to Harriet.

Harriet can work with calendars when your organization has connected a supported calendar integration and the relevant users have authorized access.

What “booking a meeting” means here

  • Harriet can create or update calendar events when the signed-in user (or the user the workflow runs as) has granted calendar access and the integration supports it.
  • Harriet sees calendars and events that the connected user’s provider account can see—shared calendars only if their provider permissions allow it.

What IT should verify

  • The correct calendar integration is enabled in Company settings.
  • Employees who should delegate scheduling have completed OAuth or your organization’s equivalent connection flow.
  • Optional: which skills or workflows are allowed to create events, and in which channels.

Example

A people partner asks in web chat: “Book a 30-minute sync with Alex next Tuesday afternoon.” Harriet proposes a time and creates the event on the partner’s primary calendar because that partner connected Google Calendar.

Guardrails

  • Harriet cannot book into calendars nobody has connected or outside the scopes the user approved.
  • Availability and visibility follow the calendar provider’s rules—not Harriet’s.
  • If your organization adds another calendar vendor later, behavior is framed by that vendor’s integration; avoid promising identical features across providers until they are enabled for you.

Use Harriet in your organisation for searchable help, AI assistance, and your company knowledge base.
