New Planner Availability
In order to get the new beta Planner experience with native calendar actions, you may be seeing a banner that looks like this:
which lets you know that you'll need to update to the latest version of Reclaim. This free update will take a few minutes to complete.
Otherwise, you're already in, which you can see by dragging a time slot in the Planner, and you'll see the Event (Beta) option like this:
which gives you the ability to create native Google and Outlook events, directly from Reclaim. We're aiming to support as close to 100% of the features that Google and Outlook support in their own user interfaces over time, and you can read about the current limitations and our progress below.
Current Limitations
The new Planner (Beta) will be made available to all Reclaim users over the next several weeks and as noted above, will be evolving to support as many of the native Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook features as possible. Here are some of the most prominent limitations of the Reclaim Planner relative to the native Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook 365 interfaces:
Recurring Events: limited support for managing recurring events (currently can only reply to single instances of a recurring event).
Conference Rooms: no support for managing conference rooms attached to a calendar event.
Guest Permissions: no support for enabling guests to modify / manage events.Event Types (out of office, focus, birthday, working location): no support for creating the special event types that exist on Google and Microsoft.
Viewing other calendars: the new Planner will eventually offer the ability to view other calendars (ie: your colleagues calendar) without including that calendar as a Reclaim "Connected" calendar.
