Communications Calendar overview

See a complete view of your entire organization's emails with Workshop's communications calendar.

Overview

Workshop's communications calendar allows your team to efficiently view and plan for sent or scheduled company communications. Our expanded calendar shows your users when emails have been sent, or emails are scheduled for the future, providing a complete look into your organization's communication plan.

Our communications calendar is a perfect complement to Workshop's user-friendly dashboard. Sent emails are marked in green, and scheduled emails in purple - a color-coded system that makes it easy to see and use every day. 

Users can also see if an email has been or will be cross-posted to any additional notification channels like Microsoft Teams, Sharepoint or Slack.

The calendar also takes into account your organization's sharing and privacy settings, so all sensitive communications stay private even in the calendar view. Users can see placeholders for emails that they don't have access to, giving users a full view of planned and sent communications, but ensures that privacy is maintained. For users with access, they'll see full details of the email and can navigate directly to the email to continue editing or view email analytics.
