Plans and permissions:
- Set up schedule reminders for yourself: Any role
- Turning on schedule change notifications for team members needs Configure notifications set to Can configure all notifications or Can configure certain notifications, which Admins have by default.
Use schedule notifications so you know what’s coming up and when your schedule changes, without keeping Assembled open. You can get them in Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, or Zendesk.
| Notification | What you get | How to set it up |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule change notifications | A message when your schedule changes within the next few hours | An admin turns them on for everyone. See Notifications. |
| Google Calendar reminders in Slack | A Slack reminder before each event, and your day’s schedule on request | You set it up yourself. See Get reminders in Slack from Google Calendar. |
| Assembled App for Zendesk | An alert in Zendesk before each event, and when your schedule changes | Your company installs the app. See Get notifications in Zendesk. |
Get reminders in Slack from Google Calendar
Slack’s Google Calendar app reminds you before each event on your Google Calendar. If your Assembled schedule is synced to that calendar, you get a reminder before each scheduled event.
-
Sync your Assembled schedule to Google Calendar. Choose My calendar, not Separate Assembled calendar, because the Slack app reads your main calendar. See Assembled → Google Calendar integration.
-
Add the Google Calendar app to your Slack account.
-
Sign in to Google Calendar when Slack asks, and choose your sharing options.
-
In Slack, open Google Calendar under Apps.
-
Select Turn On to turn on event notifications.
You now get a reminder in Slack shortly before each event.
See today’s or tomorrow’s schedule in Slack
Once Google Calendar is connected to Slack, enter /gcal today or /gcal tomorrow in any Slack conversation to see your schedule for that day.
Get notifications in Zendesk
If your company has installed the Assembled App for Zendesk, it alerts you in Zendesk:
- 5 minutes before each event on your schedule starts.
- When your schedule changes, with a message asking you to check the Assembled app.
