Overview of Google Calendar Integration

TeamScore's integration with Google Workspace Calendar is one of the most popular features, allowing you to see what your colleagues have been working on based on their calendar activities. Since many organizations share calendars to coordinate meetings and availability, TeamScore leverages this to give you a clear picture of your team’s work habits.

What TeamScore Tracks from Your Calendar

TeamScore tracks two primary types of calendar data:

• Interaction Activities: These are actions you perform on your calendar such as scheduling meetings, sending or modifying invitations, accepting or declining meetings, and any active interactions with your calendar entries.
• Calendar Events: This refers to the actual scheduled events indicated by date and time on your calendar, showing what you are likely working on during those periods.

Categories of Calendar Events

TeamScore classifies calendar events into three distinct types and scores them differently for analysis and reporting:

1. Internal Meetings: Meetings that include only your colleagues who are also TeamScore users. These are easy to identify and analyze as internal team activity.
2. External Meetings: Meetings that include participants outside your organization, such as clients, partners, or vendors.
3. Calendar Blocks (Events with No Attendees): Personal or reminder entries such as gym time or picking up kids. These are not scored or shown in activity summaries by default since they typically represent non-work time.

How TeamScore Manages Calendar Activity Noise

Because multiple calendar activities like invitations or updates can happen in short bursts, TeamScore processes and consolidates these actions at the end of each day to reduce noise and keep your reports clear and meaningful.

Important Notes on Scoring Calendar Events

• Events longer than 10 hours are not scored by default, as they often represent out-of-office time or non-work activities which could distort your work activity scores.

Summary

The Google Workspace Calendar integration in TeamScore helps you understand both what meetings you're interacting with and what actual events are on your calendar by categorizing them into internal, external, and personal blocks. By filtering and scoring these events thoughtfully, TeamScore provides valuable insights into how you and your team spend time during the workday.
