Overview

Create WorkBoard Meetings to discuss your Objectives, Key Results, Workstreams, Action Items and any work associated with your strategic initiatives.

WorkBoard Meetings integrate with Google Calendar & Microsoft Outlook, allowing you to create a WorkBoard Meeting Agenda for all of your calendar events to track your meeting outcomes.

Outlook or Google Calendar Integration

If you haven't already, check out this article to setup your Calendar Integration. While it's not a requirement, it makes creating Meeting Agendas for new and existing calendar events a breeze, and we recommend it for an optimal experience. 

Creating Meeting Agendas

You can dynamically create WorkBoard Meetings for existing Outlook or Google calendar events and create ad-hoc and scheduled WorkBoard Meetings which can be linked to a calendar event at a later time.

Click-to-Create WorkBoard Meetings

If there's a WorkBoard Meeting associated with the existing calendar event, you will see the Topics icon, which is a number (0,1,2,3, etc.) & three horizontal lines. The Topic icon follows the Repeating Event icon which follows the Title of the meeting.

Meetings synchronized from Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook that don't have WorkBoard Meetings associated with them, will not have an Agenda. 

Calendar Event without WorkBoard Meeting:

Calendar Event with WorkBoard Meeting associated with it:

To create a WorkBoard Meeting for the calendar event simply click on calendar event that doesn't have a Topics icon

Linking existing WorkBoard Meetings to existing Google or Outlook Events

Note: First ensure you've setup the integration with Google or Outlook.

Link ad-hoc and scheduled WorkBoard Meetings calendar event from Outlook or Google. After you link your Meeting to an Outlook or Google calendar event, scheduling (time, date, frequency), location, description and attendees is controlled and updated from your Calendar not from WorkBoard.

2. Click Link to Calendar. 
3. Choose a Calendar Event that does not have a WorkBoard Meeting associated with it.
