Planning meaningful 1:1 meetings on Popwork just got much easier with our Google Calendar integration!

Simply connect Google Calendar in your Team settings and your 1:1 meetings on Popwork will be added and synchronized with your and your team members' calendars. From the calendar invite, participants will get direct access to Popwork to prepare for the meeting.

Please note that this new integration is currently in beta testing and under review by the Google team.

Finally, if you are using Microsoft Outlook, an integration will be available soon. Stay tuned!

We have made a series of visual improvements to bring further clarity in how rituals are displayed in the workspace.

Most notably, we have simplified 1:1 meeting dates on Popwork as we are now only showing the meeting date in workspaces. This makes it much easier to plan, prepare and follow up on 1:1 meetings.

Now, team members are also automatically redirected to their workspaces after sharing a check-in. This will give them direct access to their previous answers, open action items and feedback from their manager.

Finally, it is also now possible to deactivate and activate 1:1 rituals for your team. This will be particularly useful when we add more ritual templates.

Other improvements:

• New team members now appear instantaneously in the left menu of managers when added to the team
• Fixed an issue when setting the 1:1 meeting date for today
• Fixed an issue when adding yourself as the owner of an objective
• Fixed an issue when adding a custom question during the onboarding
• Improved the dropdown on the sign-up page
• Made small design improvements to the left menu
