Tip: Click on the platform link to view its integration guide.
Create events in chat
After your Google or Outlook calendar is connected, you can chat with Vizzy to manage your calendar. Vizzy can create both one-time events and recurring events.
Note: When asking Vizzy to create an event, make sure to mention the platform you want to use, e.g. - Gmail or Outlook. Otherwise, Vizzy will create events for both platforms.
Create a one-time event
To create a one-time event, provide Vizzy with the date and time for the event. Include the meeting title and any details you need added:
Create a recurring event
To create a recurring event, include the same information as a one-time event, and specify the frequency of recurrence:
Add attendees to your event
If you're inviting other people, mention the email of the attendee Vizzy should add:
📞 Tip: For Google Calendar, Vizzy can add a Google Meet link for the event if you add this request to your message.
How to read and approve the event
In previous images, you may have noticed a window that appears after you make your request. This window is called a function window, and it appears whenever you have to make an approval for an action. Select View to see the event details:
Attendees - Attendees who will receive an invitation email
Start and end times - Date and time for the event
Title - The calendar event title
Description - The description of the event
Recurrence - How often the event will recur
Provider - The platform used to save the event (Google or Outlook)
Google Meet Call - If a Google Meet call link will be created with the invitation (Google Calendar only)
If all of the event details fit your needs, press the "Approve" button. On a successful creation, the function windows will retract, and a green checkmark will be placed:
This action creates the event in your calendar.
Both the Google and Outlook calendar windows have the same icon. Please check the provider before approving the action.
Read past or future events in chat
Vizzy can read your calendar events and filter them by date or keyword.
Limitation: At this time, only the Google integration supports these features:
Reading calendar events by keyword.
Reading secondary calendar events.
Reading recurring events.
Reading events by date
When making your request for Vizzy, simply include the exact date or date range for the events to be found. A request to check for next week's event would look like this:
If you wanted to check your events from the past week, the request would look like this:
Tip: If you have a lot of events that happen each month, Vizzy may have issues processing all that information and returning you a summary. Try dividing your request into weekly ranges for better efficiency.
Reading events by keyword
If you want to find when specific events happen inside your calendar, you can search for them by using keywords. For example, keywords may help you check for the latest call or meeting that is upcoming:
Reading secondary calendar events
Sintra also supports reading secondary calendar events. These events are usually birthdays or other types of events that were not created under your main account calendar. Inside Google Calendar, secondary calendars will be shown below your name (Tasks not included):
An example of a birthday request would look like this:
Using the Daily Summarizer Automation
If you want to see the upcoming events that you have in the next 24 hours, you can use Vizzy's Daily Summarizer automation. This automation will extract emails and calendar events from both Google and Outlook to provide you with a daily update.
