Extensive Google Group support

This one has been requested many times, we can finally share that we now have full support for Google Groups! This means that you're able to add a Google Group email as an attendee, but also see the response status of the individual group members. Also, if you added a group to a flexible meeting we consider the schedule of all the group members when finding a better slots for the events.

Other improvements

  • We now also show blocking all day events in the teamlist

  • We added a few hints (e.g. to the teamlist section) to better explain how they work

  • You can now set a custom duration when using meet (e.g. 31 minutes)

  • We've been finetuning a lot of steps in the onboarding flow

  • We added cross-calendar blocking to the steps of the onboarding

Bugfixes

  • Some public and birthday calendars were not synced correctly with Google

  • You were getting an error when going to settings without being logged in

  • Our desktop app crashed on Linux, can be solved by upgrading to v1.18.0

  • Information about a flexible move in the hover card was sometimes empty

  • Enabling/disabling cross-calendar blocking was not immediately reflected by the toggle

Redesigned Settings

As we add features to Rise it's important that there is a good place to configure them. Therefore we revamped our settings pages by making them full screen and regrouped the different options. For several features like focus guard and flexible events we added better explanations, and you can watch videos where Rick walks you through them.

Cross-calendar Blocking

Cross-calendar blocking automatically marks that appointment at the dentist from your private calendar as "busy" in your work calendar, for example. This will prevent you from being double booked and will not require any manual work after setting it up. The exact details of your appointment will not be shared, your teammates will just see you're busy.

How do I enable cross-calendar blocking?

  • Open Settings by pressing G then S on the keyboard

  • Navigate to Calendars

  • Select the calendar you like to copy events from (e.g. your private calendar) and the destination calendar (e.g. your work calendar)

  • From now all events (that are marked as busy) will be blocked off in the destination calendar

We're on a mission to give teams more control over their schedule, and believe this to be another great step in that direction.

Other improvements

  • If your flexible meeting moved to another day you'll now also see a preview of changes in your email

  • Rise Meet is more reliable and will no longer return a timeout when using with many teammates

  • Added a gorgeous animation to an event schedule with Rise Meet to improve its visibility

  • When viewing your colleagues calendar you'll now be able to distinguish events that do not influence their availability making it easier to schedule

  • Added an animation to the calendar view if you navigate to another week using the keyboard or buttons

  • You can now make a meeting repeat on the same date every month (e.g. every month on the 28th)

Bugfixes

  • For some people the UI was glitching after we released continuous scrolling

  • Sometimes the action menu for the meeting participants did not show up

  • Best time to meet suggestions show up again after you change weeks you have in

  • The app no longer crashes when you move a meeting to the all-day section

Endless Scrolling

We want you to be able to navigate your days and weeks in a fast, fluid and beautiful way. That's why we decided to upgrade the weekview to allow you to horizontally navigate through your calendar. It's a great way to quickly zip between weeks, and it allows you to take a quick peek at what's just beyond the last day of the week. We love it and we hope you like it as well.

Search and Jump to Date

With a lot of things going on, it's useful to be able to quickly look up an event by title. You asked for it and now it's here: quick search. Access it by pressing /. Find it by typing 'Search' in the Cmd (or Ctrl on windows)+K command launcher.

Other improvements

  • When presenting meeting rooms while adding attendees to an event, we'll try to suggest a few rooms that are actually available

  • When an event contains a meeting room, we move it to the top of the attendee list as well as slightly change its appearance so it's easier to spot

  • Our scheduling engine now takes 'busy' all day events into account when finding a time, moving flexible events and when showing meeting slots in scheduling links

  • Ppreviously, flexible events would be rescheduled on a fixed time for all teams. This is now changed: we're calculating the most fitting timezone for your team and are moving events for the next working day at 16.00 hours. That gives us a good picture of what tomorrow looks like, and gives you enough time to get notified.

Bugfixes

  • Jumping to the future or the past using jump to date (.) or via the datepicker on the top left would cause data in some weeks not to be loaded

  • Depending on the configuration of your menu bar app, the first event of the next day would not be highlighted

  • In some cases with recurring event exceptions, the incorrect status of a colleagues would be presented

Flexible events are now even more flexible

The number one feedback we got for flexible meetings: "I’d love to make flexible events even more flexible." That is possible now. You can adjust your flexible meetings to either stick within one day, move to one day before or after or anywhere in the week, and we have even more flexibility planned.
