Synced, the AI inbox assistant, handles meeting requests that arrive in email, Slack, Teams, or other connected Inboxes. It checks your connected calendar for conflicts and open time, then prepares a calendar event with the title, time, time zone, attendees, and an optional Google Meet link. You review and edit the event in Decide before it's created, and the reply confirming the time is drafted only after that, so it always matches the final event.
What Synced does with a meeting request
Scheduling in Synced starts from the message, not a booking link. When someone asks to meet, move a meeting, or add people to one, Synced reads the request, looks at your calendar, and splits the work into an event to confirm and a reply to send.
An illustration. You edit or approve the event first. The reply is written against whatever you confirm.
Reviewing the invite before it's created
The event card in Decide opens as a short summary, like the Calendar app shows. Tap it and every field is editable:
- Title, date, start and end time, all-day, and time zone.
- Attendees, with suggestions from your Google contacts as you type an email.
- Location, description, and a reminder before the event.
- Repeat rules for a recurring meeting, and a one-tap Add Google Meet.
- Which calendar it goes on, if you've connected more than one account.
Approve and Synced creates the event (or updates the existing one) with your edits. If something's wrong in a way that's faster to say than fix, Reprompt works here too: "make it 30 minutes" or "invite Chris as well."
Moving and changing existing meetings
Reschedules follow the same path. A message like "can we push Friday's sync to next week?" becomes an updated-event card showing the change, and then a reply. Synced won't tell the other person a new time before the calendar change is approved, so you don't end up with an email that says Tuesday and a calendar that still says Friday.
Invitations that arrive by email show up in the conversation as an invite card with Accept, Maybe, and Decline. Your answer is sent back to Google Calendar or Outlook.
Which calendars Synced scheduling works with
Synced reads availability from, and creates events on, Google Calendar, which is included on the Free plan. Connecting an Outlook account also lets Synced work with that account's calendar. Google's calendar permission covers reading availability and creating or modifying events; contacts.readonly is what powers attendee suggestions.
Where Synced scheduling stops
- No booking pages. Synced doesn't give you a public link for people to self-schedule; it works from the messages you receive.
- No Zoom links. Zoom has no connector; the video link Synced can add is Google Meet.
- No calendar changes without approval. Synced never creates or modifies a meeting with other people on it until you confirm the event.
- It can only see the calendars you've connected. A personal calendar that isn't linked will look free.
Scheduling a message to send later is a different feature. That's covered under drafting.
