WorkBoard Meetings Integration Requirements

Overview

The purpose of this article is to explain the required scopes of the WorkBoard API integration with your company email service.

Working Meetings integrates with your company email service via API integration to:

  • Automatically create Meeting Agendas on your calendar.
  • Automatically add a link to Meeting Agendas to your calendar for easy access from your calendar.
  • Record event information if you open the agenda. Recorded data points are:
    • Event timing
    • Attendees
    • Event location
    • Description
    • Unique calendar identifiers
  • You have the option to publish to your calendar when you create an event in WorkBoard. WorkBoard will only publish to your primary calendar (no shared calendar).
  • The calendar event will be updated with a hyperlink to the WorkBoard agenda if missing when an agenda is viewed in WorkBoard.
  • The association between the WorkBoard agenda (topics/takeaways) and the external calendar meeting is removed if a meeting is deleted in WorkBoard. WorkBoard will never delete from your calendar.
