The templates feature

⚠️
The help page has been moved here.
This page is not updated, so please refer to the above for the latest information.
 
Templates automatically extract your and your colleagues' available time from Google/Microsoft calendars, creating a URL to share with others. Recipients of the URL can directly create events based on your available time slots.
On this page, we'll guide you through creating and modifying templates within the team plan.

Introduction

If you don't have any templates for availability URLs yet, start by creating one. Select "Templates" from the top navigation on the screen and click the "Create template" button on the upper right of the list.
To modify settings for an already created availability URL, click the "View or edit" button.
Once you've entered the required details following the steps on this page, click the save button (as described below).
 
The template is a detailed configuration of general information, attendees, and potential options. It allows for the extraction of suitable options based on the latest schedules to facilitate scheduling.
Here's a breakdown of how to set and modify conditions for each item:

General

  1. Private Title (Required)
      • The title used within the management dashboard. Not visible to invitees.
  1. Public Title (Required)
      • The title visible to invitees when accessing the template URL. This also becomes the title of the schedule upon confirmation. ※ The schedule title upon confirmation will automatically be set as follows: 　{Public Title}:{Invitee's Name}x{Organizer's Company Name & Name}
  1. Description
      • A description visible to invitees when accessing the template URL.

Attendees

Configure attendees whose schedules will be considered for suggesting time slots.
※You can select individual participants or add multiple team members who will join the schedule together.
Invitees are selected from your team members. This setup functions as follows:
  • Invitees of the URL can view the available time slots of attendees and select one.
  • Once the Invitee confirms a time slot, the schedule is created in the calendars of the configured invitees.

Adding Attendees

Click the "New group" button and select attendees from the list to add them.

Attendee Combinations

In Spir, it's possible to configure settings combining "A and B attend, or C and D attend," forming And/Or conditions. To set up such a configuration, click the "Add to group" button and add members as described. For example, "Oyama Shinsuke and Shakagori Motoki both have available time slots, or Yuki Shinohara and Mori Fumiya both have available time slots," will be shared as options.

Priority Allocation for Participants

If multiple groups have the same priority, the allocation to confirm availability will be random. If you want to allocate preferentially from within these groups when both are available, set the "Priority."
Attendees will be allocated based on the priority order when availability is confirmed for multiple groups.
