Calendar Connector features
All your team benefits from the Slack Calendar Connector, so no matter which calendar service(s) they prefer to use and how many calendars they have, they enjoy seamless event reminders and updates.
You can set custom reminders before events, get daily and weekly digests, get private reminders about events (simply use @slackbot to keep them to yourself), and choose which of your calendars and channels are integrated. You have full control over event reminders, updates, times, digests, and more. There are no limits on how many users or calendars can be connected, so go crazy. It’s completely free.

- Deadline reminders (including project stages, content, follow-ups etc.)
- Staff birthday reminders and messages
- Meetings (especially recurring ones, e.g. for team catch-ups or sprints)
- Holiday greetings and reminders
