Integrating your Google Workspace with Aboard ensures automated calendar bookings happen without missing a beat. Making the integration is easy and means all Event Tasks can be inserted into users’ calendar with the appropriate Event Owner without any action needed by each person.
​
As a reminder Event Owners are then able to make any necessary changes to the calendar bookings as if they had booked it themselves. Magic!
