Team Availability Sync

Automatically sync your Out-of-Office events to team calendars

Install from Google Workspace Marketplace

Have you ever gotten shocked knowing that your onsite counterpart is going to be on leave from tomorrow and you didn't know that before? Have you ever struggled with scheduling or planning because you don't know your entire team's leave plans and end up asking around or starting a poll?

Knowing your team's availability is crucial for smooth project execution and avoiding last-minute surprises — particularly when you work with people across continents and time zones. Even within local teams, it is very important that everyone knows everyone's leave plans.

To track team member availability, teams often use shared calendars or spreadsheets. But people frequently forget to update them, and they never stay in sync with your actual leave plans.

That's why I developed Team Availability Sync, a new Google Workspace add-on!

This simple yet powerful tool automatically syncs your personal OOO events directly from your Google Calendar to your team's shared calendars. No more manual updates, no more missed information — just seamless visibility for everyone.

Simplify how your team manages availability. Check out Team Availability Sync on the Google Workspace Marketplace today!
