Introduction
With the calendar integration, the things you own in Howwe show up in the calendar you already use every day. Your deadlines and Strategy Stand-ups become visible alongside the rest of your week, and you get a reminder before something is due.
Once connected, your calendar will show:
Activities you own, on their deadline
Milestones you own, on their due date
Your team's next Strategy Stand-up, plus your team's upcoming Strategy Stand-ups for the year ahead
Each calendar event includes a Go to Howwe link that takes you straight to the item, so you can report progress or update it in one click.
How to set it up
Step 1: Open User settings
Click your initials in the top right corner of Howwe and select User settings.
Step 2: Scroll down to Calendar
At the bottom of the page you'll find the Calendar section. Click Create Calender link.
Step 3: Choose your calendar
Select the calendar you use, for example Outlook or Google Calendar.
Step 4: Follow the instructions
Howwe shows step-by-step instructions for your calendar. Follow them to add the link, and your Howwe events will start to appear.
Good to know
Changes in Howwe update your calendar automatically. If a deadline moves or a milestone is completed, your calendar follows. Make changes in Howwe rather than in the calendar.
Updates are not instant. Your calendar app decides how often it checks for changes, so it can take a few hours before an update shows up.
Planned Strategy Stand-ups are marked "(planned)". These show your team's regular Strategy Stand-up rhythm. Once your team sets the date of the next Strategy Stand-up, it replaces the planned one. You only get reminders for Strategy Stand-ups with a confirmed date, so your calendar won't fill up with notifications.
Keep your link private. The link is personal to you. Anyone who has it can see your Howwe events, so don't share it with others.
