# Calendar Setup & Timezone Tips

> Google Calendar sync, timezone display, RSVP from email, availability sharing, and multi-person scheduling.

Slashy includes a full calendar built into your email client. Your Google Calendar syncs automatically when you connect Gmail -- no separate setup.

## Google Calendar Sync

Two-way, continuous sync. Changes in Slashy sync to Google Calendar and vice versa. Multiple Gmail accounts sync independently.

## Timezone Display

Slashy uses your system timezone. Incoming invites auto-convert to your local time. When creating events with remote attendees, times display in your timezone -- attendees see their own.

## RSVP from Email

Calendar invites show **Accept**, **Maybe**, and **Decline** buttons directly in the email thread. No need to open Google Calendar.

<Tip>Press `Tab` on a calendar invite email to accept and archive in one action.</Tip>
