Frequently Asked Questions
How do I invite my team to a shared calendar? Do they all need to sign up with email?
Getting your team on board is frictionless. You can invite members instantly by sharing a single, unique link or by sending an invitation directly to their phone numbers from your contacts. There's no need to collect email addresses, which makes onboarding large groups or communities incredibly fast and easy. Members can join with just one click.
Will everyone in my group get notified in real-time when a schedule changes?
Yes, absolutely. This is a core GroupCal feature. Whenever an event is added or updated, every member of that calendar receives an instant push notification on their mobile device or desktop. Calendars with new updates are also marked with an "unread" badge, so changes are as easy to catch as a new text message. This ensures your entire team is always in sync, instantly.
With multiple people adding events, how do we keep the calendar organized and clear?
We built GroupCal for this exact scenario. You can enhance clarity in two powerful ways:
1. Member Colors & Photos: Assign a unique color and photo to each team member. This makes it easy to see at-a-glance who created an event in a unified view.
2. Event Ownership: For ultimate clarity, you can assign a specific member as the "owner" of an event. The event will then automatically take on that member's color and photo, clearly signaling responsibility.
What's the advantage of using GroupCal over sharing a standard Google Calendar?
While Google Calendar is great for personal use, GroupCal is a dedicated group collaboration platform built to solve its biggest limitations:
A "Live" Calendar, Not a Passive One: When a shared Google Calendar is updated, nobody is notified. GroupCal sends instant, chat-like push notifications to all members for every change. Your schedule becomes a live, active conversation, not a static document you have to remember to check.
True One-Click Onboarding: Google requires you to manually invite every collaborator by email. With GroupCal, you share one simple link that anyone can use to join and start collaborating immediately—perfect for teams and communities.
A Branded Hub for Your Group: A shared Google calendar gets lost in a user's personal list. A GroupCal calendar is a destination with its own name, photo, and member list, creating a clear and organized home for your group's schedule.
