Calendly integration

Calendly integration in Pumble lets you seamlessly bring your scheduling and appointment management into your team’s workspace. Instead of jumping between Pumble and your Calendly account to manage meetings, you can now handle everything in one place. Whether it’s sharing your availability, managing upcoming events, or receiving notifications when a meeting is scheduled, this integration is designed to keep you organized and on track.

With Calendly integrated into Pumble, your whole team stays informed about scheduled events, and you can easily manage your calendar without hassle. This is especially helpful for teams who juggle multiple meetings, events, and appointments daily, as it helps streamline scheduling while keeping everyone in sync.

The benefits of Calendly Integration

• Streamlined scheduling - Manage your meetings and appointments directly within Pumble, saving time and avoiding distractions caused by app-switching.
• Instant notifications - Stay on top of new meeting bookings and changes with real-time notifications, so you never miss an important appointment.
• Easy sharing links - Quickly share your Calendly links with your team or clients, ensuring smooth scheduling without the back-and-forth of finding availability.
• Better organization - Keep all your scheduling information in one central place - no need to bounce between apps or worry about missing important events.

Key use cases

• Event notifications - Example: Receive instant notifications in Pumble whenever someone books a new meeting with you via Calendly. This way, you can stay informed about upcoming events without constantly checking your email.
• Manage events - Example: View and manage your scheduled events directly in Pumble. You can quickly check your calendar, adjust meetings, and make sure everything runs smoothly—right from your workspace.
• Share scheduling links - Example: Need to book a call or meeting with a teammate or client? Share your Calendly scheduling link directly in your Pumble channels or direct messages, and let them pick a time that works for everyone.

How Calendly Integration works

To connect Pumble with Calendly, follow these steps:

1. Connect Calendly - Start by linking your Calendly account with Pumble. Simply click the "Add apps" button in Pumble, find Calendly, and authorize the connection. If you’re not logged into Calendly, you’ll be prompted to log in to connect your Pumble Calendly add-on with your Calendly account
2. Manage and Share - Once your accounts are connected, you can easily manage your calendar or share your scheduling links by typing /calendly help in any channel or message. This command will help you access your schedule and share available times with ease.

For teams working remotely or across different time zones, scheduling meetings can be challenging. With Calendly integrated into Pumble, team members can easily book meeting slots that work for everyone without the need for lengthy email chains. Pumble notifications will alert team members of upcoming meetings, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

GIFs

Who doesn’t love a good GIF to lighten the mood? Now in Pumble, you can use GIFs to add a little personality to your conversations. Whether you're cheering on a teammate, sharing a laugh, or just trying to get your point across, GIFs help make your chats more fun and engaging.

GIFs are short, looping images that help express emotions, reactions, or ideas in a more visual way. Instead of just typing "good job" or "well done," you can throw in a celebratory GIF to add a bit of flair.

The benefits of GIFs

GIFs are a fun and creative way to communicate, making work chats feel a little less formal and a lot more lively. Using GIFs on Pumble can enhance your team’s communication, making interactions more engaging and fun.

• Express yourself - Use GIFs to show how you feel without needing to find the right words.
• Engage your team - Lighten up team conversations with a bit of humor or excitement.
• Break the ice - Starting a conversation with a GIF can set a positive, relaxed tone.

Key use cases

GIFs can be particularly useful for team-building and boosting morale. For example, during virtual meetings or project discussions, sharing a relevant GIF can lighten the mood, celebrate achievements, and foster a more connected team environment.

• Celebrating successes - Got some great news? Send a “cheers” GIF to celebrate a project milestone or team accomplishment.
• Breaking up the day - Add a fun GIF to break the tension during a busy workday or to inject some humor into long discussions.
• Reacting to messages - Instead of typing a response, sometimes a GIF says it all!

How GIFs work in Pumble

To send a GIF in Pumble:

1. Click on the emoji icon in the message editor
2. Select the GIF you want to share
3. Press Enter/Send button to post a GIF to the channel/DM
