Calendar & Scheduling

Copera's Calendar is your team's shared agenda, built right into the workspace. Plan meetings, set recurring events, invite teammates and outside guests, and see everything you have coming up --- without ever leaving Copera or switching to a separate calendar app.

Because your Calendar lives next to your channels, messages, and meeting rooms, scheduling is seamless: pick a meeting channel as the location, invite people you already work with, and let everyone respond in a single click. Events update in real time, so when someone reschedules or RSVPs, you see it right away.

Opening Your Calendar​

Your Calendar lives in the Agenda panel on the right-hand toolbar of the workspace.

  1. Look for the calendar icon in the actions bar on the right edge of the screen.
  2. Click it to open the Agenda panel.
  3. The panel slides out and shows your events for the current period.

The Agenda panel stays out of your way while you work --- open it when you need to plan, close it when you're done, and your view settings are remembered for next time.

note

If you don't see the calendar icon yet, the Calendar may not be turned on for your workspace. It is rolling out gradually --- check back soon if it isn't available.

Choosing a View​

A toolbar at the top of the Agenda lets you switch how your time is displayed. Use the view buttons to move between:

ViewWhat it shows
DayA single day, hour by hour --- best for a detailed look at one busy day.
WeekA full week at a glance --- the everyday planning view.
MonthThe whole month in a grid --- great for spotting busy stretches and free days.
AgendaA simple chronological list of upcoming events --- quick to scan, no grid.

Use the navigation controls in the toolbar to move forward and back in time, or to jump straight back to today. Copera remembers the view you used last, so the Agenda opens the way you left it.

What You Can Do​

The Calendar is more than a place to look at events --- it's where you plan and run your schedule:

  • Create and schedule events --- Add a meeting in seconds with a quick popover, or open the full form for more options. Set events to repeat on any cadence, and edit a single occurrence or the whole series.
  • Find a time that works for everyone --- Lay your teammates' availability side by side and drag a proposed meeting to a slot when everyone is free.
  • Set your working hours and time off --- Tell Copera when you're normally available and when you're away, so the right times stand out when people schedule with you.
  • Invite teammates and guests --- Add workspace members, whole teams, saved contacts, or anyone by email, and choose whether to send invitation emails.
  • RSVP to events --- Respond Yes, No, or Maybe to any event you're invited to, right from the event details.

A Quick Look at an Event​

Click any event in the Agenda to open its details. You'll see:

  • The title, date, and time.
  • The location --- a Copera meeting channel, an online meeting link, or a physical address.
  • The organizer who created the event.
  • The participants, with each person's response status.
  • Any reminders set for the event.
  • An RSVP bar to respond Yes, No, or Maybe.

If you're the organizer, the same popover gives you quick buttons to edit or delete the event.

Real-Time and Shared​

Your Calendar updates live. When a teammate reschedules a meeting, adds you to an event, or responds to an invitation, the change appears in your Agenda without a refresh. Everyone invited sees the same up-to-date details, so there's no confusion about when a meeting really starts or who's coming.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Where is the Calendar?​

It's the Agenda panel, opened from the calendar icon in the toolbar on the right side of your workspace.

Can I see other people's calendars?​

You see the events you're part of in your own Agenda. When you're scheduling a meeting, the Find a time view lets you see your invitees' busy and free times side by side so you can pick a slot that works for everyone.

Do my events sync with my email invitations?​

Yes. When you invite people to an event and choose to notify them, Copera sends them a standard calendar invitation by email, and their replies flow back to the event automatically. If you use Copera Inbox, invitations you receive show up as interactive banners you can RSVP to in one click --- see Calendar Invitations.

Will my view reset every time I open the Agenda?​

No. Copera remembers the view (Day, Week, Month, or Agenda) you used last and reopens the panel the same way.
