Connect Your Free/Busy Calendar
This is the first hiring-team training module. It walks through connecting Google or Microsoft calendar access, confirming the connection, and setting interview availability so Octopyd can schedule without conflicts.
- Grant free/busy access to Google Calendar or Microsoft Calendar
- Confirm the calendar shows as connected in your account settings
- Set your time zone, default work hours, buffers, and minimum notice
- Use inclusion and exclusion hours to fine-tune when interviews can be booked
