Best Practices
Only sync calendars you need
Only sync calendars you need
Don’t sync every calendar you have. Sync your primary work calendar and maybe one personal calendar. Too many calendars create noise.
Set a default calendar
Set a default calendar
Make sure your default calendar is set correctly so AI-created events go to the right place.
Use Trilo's booking pages for external scheduling
Use Trilo's booking pages for external scheduling
For meetings with external people, use Trilo’s built-in booking pages instead of asking AI to schedule. It’s more efficient.
